And this is as demand is increasing.Resource shortage could have a bigger impact on our lives than any and all govt printing of money.

The cash flow might look good on paper but if vacancies are three times longer due to not-so-good location than they would normally be, wouldn't that impact the cash flow?

That would impact the overall headache-factor by ensuring you get good tenants who won't trash the place.

Assuming your rent assumptions are accurate, assuming there is no major differed maintenance issues, and assuming there is nothing out of the ordinary that would impact your NOI (such that your expenses were much more than 50%), this deal sounds great from a purely financial perspective.Obviously, there are other considerations (location, management, etc), but again, just looking at the numbers, it looks good on paper.

If we do see a default - even a short term one - it will likely lead to higher interest rates, which could negatively impact the fiscal position of the government and hurt the economy.

This made somewhat of a visual impact that draws the viewer to that highlight, and it reduces the likelihood of that post being skimmed over.

I'm thinking 10% may not be enough to cover transactional funding costs for double closing and giving me enough negotiating ability.This is on the deed so it would potentially impact the rehab as well.

If it is possible to cancel the deal, are there any consequences like losing money paid during auction, impact to credit history etc ?

To determine what you can get a property to appraise for (when selling).While the square footage method (and adjusting the comps based on their differential square footage) might be reasonable for determining what a property will appraise for, the fact that there are a different number of bedrooms could have a much more significant impact on the resale price.To determine ARV for the purposes of estimating resale value, you really need to find a couple more houses that are similar in terms of number of bedrooms (and obviously make sure things like condition, style and age are still comparable).

You know, California has the most earth quakes and also has the highest unemployment...why can't we assume that the number of earth quakes impacts the unemployment level?
