The property is a duplex that needed a full rehab in both units to meet the area's rental rates.

What is the cap rate for an older built about 80 years old building in downtown Seattle area, specifically Belltown/Queen Area area?  

-depending on sale price, cap rate will be in the 8.8%-9.3% range(rent increases each year).

You could tie it up with a standard contract amended to include "outs" for you on interest rate changes and property appraising at a certain level and changes in your personal financial situation.

I'll refund their security deposit, pro-rated their unused days - do whatever it takes to get them out and move on.

YoudoWhats lot rent rates and does the park cover garbage and snow removal?

Are you planning to convert to a market rate property? 

@Allan Rosenberg,  I think you're asking a perfectly legitimate question: what is their default rate, and what is their uncured default rate.  

Hi DiogoNot sure if you refer to transfer losses or exchange rate fluctuation.
