The buyer liked it because they picked up an eight-unit property for almost no money down and with long-term financing on the first.You may have to work through hell and hot water to find a worthy lender.But the concept definitely still exists.  

All this hype about Newark, NJ being the next gold mine in real estate wholesaling. Is this true all just full of hype. The city is RUN DOWN. All these wholesalers out here are Marketing/Pushing the same properties.. ...

Make sure you don’t run comps against homes with hot tubs or pools, that will skew your data.When looking at MTR you want at minimums 1.5x of LTR rental income.

Quote from @Shelly Hershey: The market feels different depending on where you invest — some areas are slowing down, others remain surprisingly hot.

HOA unfortunately won’t allow a hot tub so was thinking of installing a sauna and steam shower with heated tile bathroom.

I'd get a hot tub.

I do agree with the hot-tub photo though, I think you could do better than that.

Confirm local cold-climate specs and size correctly; add dedicated electric hot water per unit.

@Ashish Acharya, @Nicholas Aiola, @Dave Foster, @David Orr, @Jason Watson, @Natalie Kolodij, @Bernard ReiszFriends, based on my prior failed attempts to address this issue offline, nobody really wanted to hold this hot potato in their hands.

we had a gas hot water heater, big name brand with a six year warranty go out at about 6.5 years.
