It's probably unreasonable to expect the seller to eat the costs of the thing extending out, but let you eat the profits.

They want people that eat,breathe, and sleep that asset class.The broker/agent inexperience combined with overseas buyers that are not familiar with the areas creates a high barrier to entry for getting your offer accepted.Sellers would want to see proof of funds that the money is here and not overseas.

You're going to have exterminators, plumbers, HVAC, electricians visit your home from time to time and they expect to eat!  

I also own BetterResidence, SelectShelter and SunnyShelter (all .com) but when polling friends, many replied both had immediate negative connotation (they thought of homeless and animal shelters) and I fear I will forever be asked if it's betterresidence or betterresidents.

have laundry room on each floor and eating area and set of rules in kitchen area. met a lot of travelers who stay at hostels and they have setup like that. there was one where they had a weekly dinner and had to contribute towards food prep and cooking to keep cost down and for laundry they had washer/dryers. 

You pay the mortgage, they pay the rent, you both comply with the terms of the lease.On a side note, rent is not 15% above market if there are numerous unauthorized animals in the unit.  

Their program has about 50% that you read, and the other 50% is an animated man/women explaining things, which helped with certain sections, especially the math.  

Both my wife and I read (and podcast) a lot and are currently eating up everything we can get our hands on.

As a contractor I always prefer a full gut but it does eat away the rehab cost and takes longer but no stress about plumbing, leaks, electric, lead paint and etc in the future.The patch up would cost less, fast timing, but then you are gambling with what's behind the wall and hoping nothing happens in the future.I assume most house that are purchase for BRRRR purpose are in distress/bad condition and old on some occasion.What rehab number would you go for?

Also, make sure you spell out exactly what kind of animals are acceptable.
