I wish I could find the 1% in my local CA market! :)

The property is OOS- in Tennessee.

Who cares if it doesn't pass the 1% rule.  That ridiculous rule has sunk, never to be seen again...or should have.  Forget percentages as a guild/rule when making decisions.  They tell you nothing of value, and lie to you while doing so.  Look at the numbers that matter, the ones with $$$$$ in front, and base all of your decisions on those numbers...ONLY.

    All excellent points- the tax advantages to the seller are one that I highlighted. As well as asking what their intentions were with the funds they get from the sale. If they are going to purchase a CD for

    “Safety”, then a 4-5% rate from me is a no brainer!
