More Listing Misdirection

1619 Linnet 92397


Decent place, decent 'hood, decent comps.  What's the problem?  All the usual things.  First there's the inability to follow the property history.  The San Bernadino Assessor's Office has a 2004 transaction that doesn't show up in the listing history.  Also the total square footage is ummmm... generous. See the square feet in the second floor:


You could rent this for $1100 and cover the mortgage; $800/mo and taxes $170/mo and misc $100 but just barely.  Hardly a decent return on $40,000 down.

Don't you need half down for rental property? Or is that based on old fashioned lending practices?
