Most importantly doing the work and being accountable to the work can help make sense of; how the goal was attained and how to duplicate it. 

Happy to look at things both ways on a DSCR loan(s) to see if it makes sense.

That makes sense!

It makes a huge difference if you can solve that problem for them.If you get the sense that there's someone who will NOT leave and make life hell, then it may be worth getting out of the deal (I don't know the specifics).Good luck!

The purchase may not make sense if the repair costs are too great, so try to find out as much as you can.3.

Don't be dumb, use common sense for when to call. 7pm on a Friday is dumb, so is 6am on a Tuesday.
