Quote from @Jonathan Grzeszczyk: I agree that the motivation and problem is the core, but the first question is always where are you going when we come to a win-win agreement for you to sell me your house.

I guess a flat seasonal fee like any insurance policy, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Good luck winning that one in court.

You could easily spend a lot of capital to start with something else but doing the house hack gets you started and your feet wet.

The property will need to have a slight rehab to get it up to STR standards, but when complete it should easily be a $200k Gross booking revenue property.

I found a win - win situation for the corporate owner, the rail road land owner, and the community who were plagued by the vagrants steeling and causing mischief.

We normally do not seek judgement due to the expense that is involved, even after you win you have to continue to renew the judgement every year.We put them in collections and have it hit all three credit bureaus.

Whereas curtains you can easily throw in the washing machine.

You used to easily be able to do this with 2 unit properties, but with prices and rates today it's hard to make this work anymore, unfortunately.

If you win, it's because they wanted you to win and they bid you up. yup I used to be one of those characters..
