But also, if you aren't really planning on doing it soon I'm not sure what you would need to speak them about now. 

That being said, there are still investment opportunities, you just have to get creative and plan on cash-flowing later rather than right away.

My plan was to gradually raise rents to market rate over a two-year period, which would generate a cash flow of $200 in two years with a 7 percent interest rate.The seller is firm on the purchase price and has cash offers as backups if our agreement falls through, but we are currently under contract.Pls let me any additional info needed, as this is my first post. 

I am planning to do a BRRR deal on this one.

Are there other avenues of research that I should pursue to see if my plan would work?

How long do you plan to hold a property?

I'm from the Bay Area originally and this sounds like a great plan to me. 

I am at my wits end.I have a private mortgage through the seller that I planned to refinance.

Hi All,I am looking to buy a SFH in the 400-450k range in the DFW area, looking to put 20% down, I plan to live in this home for 1-2 yrs before turning it into a rental.

Assuming of course that your budget is ok with that approach...you'll have to run the numbers and see how long it takes to make back your investment, and if that is in line with your future plans....
