My friend and her husband disagreed and let the buyers know and that it was still covered by warranty.

We have increased our monthly rent to price ratio from your ~0.75% to 1.1% but the leverage ate up all the extra cash flow (even if the total return is likely higher).You could be a cash buyer and go from your one property to 20 and cash flow 20000/mo but you are still having to buy and manage 20 properties.You can do better on the total cash flow in other markets or rougher neighborhoods, but the story is similar: you are getting an extra ~25-35% in income for 20x the hassle.

You never know what buyer is out there looking for a house just like yours for whatever reason at whatever cost. 

I think this was to ensure your buyer can qualify for a loan.

At that price point, a seller's chances of finding a cash buyer go way up.

I imagined that they would send out their turn-key properties to qualified buyers via email (similar to how a wholesaler dispositions their properties).

Buyers that would buy if rates were 1% lower.

Tell the buyers if they want a house that is up to current code , buy a brand new one . 

In addition lower rents will decrease the value of a property, not necessarily its appraised value, because no buyer will desire to pay retail for properties with reduced cash flow.

By positioning the property effectively and highlighting its strengths, we attracted motivated buyers quickly, ensuring a successful sale without the need for renovations.
