Each person's situation is going to be very different and what works for one person may be a horrible idea for another.  

Unfortunately that means if somebody is a murderer, rapist, or convicted of other horrible crimes more than 7 years ago, you can't deny them for that reason.  

The house could be horrible, and you could have tremendous upside if you go in and renovate, or wholesale to a flipper, but if the seller doesn't care about moving or doesnt have a "problem" that needs solving, it is unlikely you will get an accepted offer.  

You sound just horrible.  

My credit isn't horrible, but it's not good enough to get approved for a loan of any type.

I say shortly rates are horrible here 16-20%/year in USD and 20-25%/year in local currency.

A pissed off tenant is a horrible tenant.

Flat roofs are horrible, if its a keeper I'd frame a real roof over it. 

The money was conditioned on a checklist that I gave them prior to the close that detailed what the exact conditions of each of the requirements were, "broom-clean, free of debris, all seller-owned appliances left in good working order" etc.Many of the tenants, knowing that the bank would likely evict them in a few months anyway, were cooperative enough to leave the property in "not-horrible" condition.

I did just look at my last post it was horrible.
