The behavior is a bit off, but not surprising for a mom & pop landlord.We tell our residents exactly what we need from them for the application. 

I don't want to bite off more than we can chew with managing a full reno while we learn the ropes. 

If it's worth $1.3 million today, it will be worth $3 million or more in 20 years, you'll have paid off the debt (or most of it), you'll earn at least $3 million in cash flow over those 20 years, and you'll have tax benefits.

I was in national construction for 5+ years I'm not afraid of a small contractor who's ripping you guys off 

Give you a cool place to visit (and potentially write off).

Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.

It's probably to much information to throw out right now and would be off topic of the post.Would still like to chat about it if you have the time. 

Are they off market or on MLS? 

The good ones will have access to off-market deals.
