I asked the broker I am working with to find out more about the property and he was told the Seller's agent is not willing to work with him as a buyer's broker.My broker told me that if the seller's agent refuses to cooperate the seller's agent will keep the entire 6% commission and I would have to pay my broker 3% directly.I would feel much more comfortable doing a deal of this size with the assistance of a broker representing me.

He is hesitant to let me use the money for the transactional funding because he is scared of the possibility that the B to C end buyer does not perform.

@Avery Carl is a great resource and represents an exceptionally strong market.

Im in houston texas and would like to know what performance metrics should I seek in a 1 to 4 unit home to ensure Ill get approved for another loan year after year?

Prior to, we used a PM firm but wanted better performance. 

Are you buying something with potential to improve performance or something stabilized?

I find distressed properties with good bones, rehab them for top rents.My challenge is the valuation of the property is still performed as a small mf (1-4 units) so the neighborhood Comps dictate valuation more than my improvements or the rent rate.I started to wonder how valuation was done for a portfolio of properties.  

If your second property fails and you had to foreclose, it could impact the performance of the first property, as well.I recommend leaving at least 30% equity in your properties.

While the work can be done by someone with little experience, it should really be done by a professional for best performance.

This is nice, but more than nice is the reality that capitalized at 5 cap this $60,000 represents a value of $1.2MSo, the question is less about whether or not $60,000 of annualized revenue is worth the headaches and more whether $1.2M of valuation is worth the trouble...Finally, there is actually more to this in two ways.
