Based on those rental rates ($1100 + $525), 5% vacancy rate market value for investment purposes is $154,400 At the TOP Rental rates ($1300 & $650) market value is $192,200.
If the seller refinanced new money @5% 200k (giving him all his equity) PITI $1017 you L/O at that rate or buy sub2? If both units remain rented and no PROBLEM tenants for awhile, you can profit about $7k a year. Since he did a refi 11/02 and probably got some cash I?d PASS unless you want to live there and have the 2nd unit help pay the mortgage.

What more information do I need to get? What kinds of deals can be made if any?
I didn’t get out the calculator, but this looks just like any other seller wanting full FMV and cash-to-mortgage. What is in it for you other than the privilege of negative cash flow and a negative ROI on the down payment?
Even if you have a cash-flow investor in the wings, there’s nothing to work with unless the sellers are willing to reconsider taking a quick solution to their problem. I don?t think the reality of double payments has hit home yet.
