And of course, you may get lucky and be able to sell the homes to the existing tenants, but you don't want to have that be your only strategy as they may not have the capacity to buy them.  

Hi BP Friends,I’m a new landlord and am just closing on my first investment property. The tenants I’m inheriting in our owner-occupied triplex want to add a roommate. I said yes, as long as the individual passes a cre...

However, in my area (as I'm sure tons of other areas), properties that meet the one percent rule don't seem to exist.

Just curious how you guys are analyzing your rental property investments, specifically with regard to investing in existing properties in the form of additions and other improvements that increase monthly cash flow.Do you focus more on monthly cash flow?

So I can offer this to existing Tenants with four or more months remaining.

Would you guess the new property will appreciate much faster than the existing one? 

Two questions:1.Will March’s rent be prorated or given to the existing owner?

The seller is an elder couple that have multiple units within the condominium, but are looking to start an exist strategy as they are travelling too much to self-manage and want the extra cash. 

The existing owner is getting impatient and has indicated to the tenant that either she needs to buy it now, or he is going to put it on the market.My realtor approached me to see if I would be willing to buy the property for $120,000 and immediately turn around and offer to do a rent-to-own deal with the existing tenant.  

Almost immediately, I sold one of them under article of agreement because after I had it inspected, I quickly realized it would cost way more to fix than it would ever be worth in the next 20 years and the cash flow on it after repair was non existent.
