According to my reaseach rents are low. and currently it is upcoming area. this property is around a lot of SFH and it is not proeprly maintained. so as of now rents are very comparable to san pablo area. so i want to cleanup things and wrong tennats. make it nice curb appeal. 

I offered 5% on my last one and he was good with it  Owner finance Is usually more appealing for owners who have places on the market for a long time or really run down.  

I’ve seen it with 35 percent down but that’s less appealing.

They simply had the cash and used it as a way to make their approval more appealing.

Hi John - a triplex with a good rental history is appealing to many investors even if some repairs are needed, including a roof.

Hired a law firm last go round they were not successful with appeal.

Its also close to our church community that meets at the James Monroe Elementary School nearby on Sundays.3) Value Add: Option to add another bedroom to the Garden unit when tenants are ready to move out, option to add laundry to both units, option to add some curb appeal to the front of building.4) Appreciation: This area of Logan Square still has a lot of potential for appreciation in my opinion as it is still far enough from the blue line that its price hasn't been hyper inflated.

Otherwise, some positive cashflow, the freedom to extract some capital via HELOC if an opportunity appeares, and the potential of appreciation make holding on to the property far more appealing.

Better than average schools is part of the appeal and I think the GH high school is a 9 or 10?

Something about the yard appealing?
