They are both class C properties with high percentage of Hispanic tenants.

This is what I've done and it has worked well.In one case, I had 3 apartments, so I estimated the square footage of each apartment (in cases where all the units are identical, then it's even easier - no trying to figure out percentages).

But their large anchor stores are the ones refusing to pay and or only paing a small percentage .

What do you envision as the payout percentages?

What percentage of the total is my personal property?

However, considering the reality that (according to something I read somewhere at some time, teehee) a higher percentage of tenants own pets than homeowners, this is really a decision of:  can you build your business excellently off of the niche of tenants that do not have pets? 

Does anyone know the percentage Gaston county market and Charlotte goes by for the ARV formula ?

In your case, I’m assuming you want a flat fee or monthly percentage of rents Without paying too much in acquisition cost.

This gets a little complicated in the case of a house hack, since if you're claiming a percentage of expenses and taking depreciation you won't get the entire exemption.

Due to the wide margins here there's a lot of deep money looking for opportunities and a lot of times they're happy with decent percentage returns so they'll buy close to retail and a lot of sellers know that.
