Structuring the agreement properly, outlining how profits will be split, who covers the rehab costs, and what the timeline looks like can ensure the seller feels confident in the process.

I recently added a half bathroom to existing footage in a unit that is valued over $1k/ft that the comps showed the half bathroom added ~$50k of value.- not sure of your home market but i assume you are choosing ohio for its lower cost.  

[I think someone else provided an example of this case earlier]-Now provided you do qualify for purchasing a house (4 units or less), you will have no problem qualifying for a mortgage with a Schedule 1 bank as long as you provide the down payment (35% minimum of purchase price) and confirm proof of fund and the source of it- On the proof and source of funds, the banks would want to see an income enough to cover the mortgage payment and other expenses. and in some cases, they would want to make sure they know how you're going to cover your expenses (housing, heating, etc..) where you live.This is usually where it gets annoying for some folks but if you can satisfy this, you should be able to qualify for a mortgage just likely any Canadian tax resident, albeit you will pay a little more in terms of interest rate, etc.

However, the buyer's bank refused to fund the loan, stating they needed to conduct a full inspection—inside and out—to confirm the property still exists.

That is one of my moves is to report Baselane to FTC for such fradulent practices, despite covered in footnotes in terms and conditions.

Plenty exist for private lenders (which is what seller financing is) and can track payments and am tables and also do automatic electronic withdrawal (ACH debit) which helps improve the likelihood of getting paid promptly each month.

If you discovered the issue before paying for the appraisal that could hopefully save some costs (in case the appraiser is with the wrong AMC).Pre-vetting with the lender on rental history/AIRbnb/1007 as well as seasoning could help. 

I would love it if someone developed software that automatically changes the cover photos and tracks impressions and conversions.

Luckily for me the state of Florida has state level protection which bars municipalities from passing new or amending their existing laws.That said, I am seeing cities like City of Saint Pete crack down and are enforcing their laws for the first time in years.  

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.
