Giving a bit on some terms in exchange for value is fine, but I'm having trouble seeing where the value to you is in this...

Brianna, you'll really be in trouble if/when they start drone delivery.  

Someone goes to the trouble and cost of creating a well-thought out plan and then the documentation is lost.

In return, I would take a lower CAP rate.Just curious if 1 and 2 are considered 'North Phily' while the 3rd is "West Philly" - two areas I am told have major trouble spots.If others have any advise, please pitch in!

I currently have offers on a duplex & a single family with a plan to hold four rental units by the end of the year, each producing a positive cash flow.

Think it could definitely see some good appreciation, and I wouldn't have trouble renting it.

As soon as the house is fixed, he can take out a HELOC and buy more properties at his leisure and produce more income.I'm not sure what the GAP system is but it doesn't sound much better than buying volatile stock. 

For example, If they're buying links in India, Russia, and China to pump up your site, that's only going to spell trouble for you in the long term.

It will work on most deals and generally keep you out of trouble.

You definitely don't want to shut off any utilities cause as Jon stated that would be considered a self help eviction which is just more trouble.
