Hello - I own a duplex in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada - the largest issue I have has been property management - I live in BC, and there are not many property management companies in Muskoka that handle long term rentals - many do air bnb properties, but most property owners who rent long term do the management on their own. 

We could offer $210,000 to make it a 1% deal, but I understand that the seller paid for the rehab, would have to pay capital gains tax, and closing costs.Based on the info provided (potential rent roll, the fact that it would be a house hack, and the appreciation potential), what do you think a reasonable offer price is to get them to sell a property they recently bought and put money into?
