In short - in comes down to having a deep understanding of the hurdles investors face and being willing to put in more work than just saying "well, I submitted the file and the AUS/underwriter said no.

While the wealth of knowledge and experience on BiggerPockets is wide and deep, I would not trust a decision like this to the internet, I would ask you CPA and if you do not have one find one who specializes in this sort of thing.

I have them all replaced. 2. curtains/drapes are stained with food and whatever red, purple color. 3.

I guess I need to do a deep dive and see where the value is, but I know there’s no leads coming in.
