Would the landlords out there recommend providing extermination service to make tenant happy, or remind her that the home was rodent free at beginning of her lease.

Your lender will have the exact details.If the current leases don't align with your timeline for moving in, another option is to explore a DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan or a traditional investment loan.

@Ahmed Moustafa usually the loan servicer has the say with regards to a waiting period.

But you can easily contact your servicer (who you send the monthly checks too) and they can assist. 

@Kyle Kline“Investing for equity and not cash flow” doesn’t mean “buy properties that don’t cash flow.”To me, invest for equity not cash flow means that the PRIMARY reason to invest is for equity growth and an increase in net worth and NOT cash flow.I’ve been investing for over 40 years and while cash flow is important, it’s not why invest.A property must be self supporting ie produce enough cash flow to cover debt service, operational expenses including repairs and replacements.

Hi Scott,Yes, I’ve definitely seen tax planning services priced in that range.

My goal is to build a business that serves corporate clients; construction and infrastructure development teams,  medical/education faculty,  corporate relocation,  family emergency relocation services,  sports travel/events, corporate and industryand I want to learn from those of you who are doing this successfully and are willing to share actionable ideas for how I can be successful in offering value to these groups.Thank you!!

Small investors just can't go there today and be compliant or economical so get a servicer.

Typically you end up putting in a new meter socket, new panels and the new service. 

Also, some places like CA and MD have very tenant "friendly" laws (against the landlord in some cases) so make sure that you know the laws and if possible, have an attorney or service to collect overdue rent and/or eviction as needed.
