Hi John - We do have one property that will not be profitable or just about break even in 2024 due to all the unforeseen maintenance items:  pool heater, roof, pool fence, handy man over a dozen times, remodeling took 3 months instead of 3 weeks, etc. 

If they are ghosting you, start by taking photos of everything and itemize their bill. 

Been entertaining the idea of investing in Dayton but I’ve only ever been there a couple times for military training. 

It works very well in Colorado Springs with the military bases. 3) You could also find someone that wants to operate it as a sober living home.

When an agent send you a video of a property walk through what are key items you are looking out for?

Over the year, I fixed some items up and raised rents as 3 out of 4 units were under market.

Buying a new, or nearly new property, even when at a 10% premium to the market, typically allows for higher rents to be achieved, provides for warranty transfer on items like appliances, roof, windows, and general construction, and prevents cap ex issues to impact annual ROI for the first 10-20 years.

If I purchase this cabin, I want to do a complete update which would require parting with most of the furniture, so I have a few questions:1.How do new owners remove large and numerous items from a cabin if you are remote?  

Of course, your bid will be extremely important, but it would be a challenge to get to the point of executing a bid proposal if we aren't confident in much of the above items.  

Seasoning and vacancy are a consideration, but a DSCR lender should be able to consider those items accordingly.
