I have a potential deal on the hook however, the property has been neglected by its previous and current owners and the current tenant isn't the cleanest.

Are there issues that you think you should avoid regardless of potential for discount? 

Hi Ethan, I would not entertain the idea of getting more money from this tenant in order to potentially increase your cash flow. 

I know the founder and know that they've set out to build a platform that takes the best features of sites like Furnished Finder and Airbnb and leaves out the clunkiness and annoying policies and practices.

Communicating timelines and expectations upfront can help prevent losing good prospects to other properties.I'd say it's a potential red flag if they want to sign the lease without viewing it.

It sounds good in theory, but in practice is highly unlikely.  

I fell off the wagon when I saw a bullet point that indicated all second story apartments have an elevator and their suggestion that it was possible to get 1000% Plus Potential Cash-on-Cash return in the 1st Year.Where has SCDC built?

The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

Seems like a property that isn't going to appreciate rapidly so cashflow will be vital to its investment potential.

.: Any idea how far south the potential for Santa Ana or similar winds goes?
