However, as a rule, I would price the flip to sell and clear that hurdle quickly if they next deal is really worth pursuing.

I thought I could dominated this market, but the sellers are just beating me up with unreasonable prices.

I manage my wife's former primary residence (a condo) as a rental, and it costs $100/adult for the COA's application to rent it out (after I've already screened them) a cost so unreasonable that if I tried to pass it along I'd never rent the place out.

The financing is definitely a possibly hurdle to over come because I understand there are not many lenders willing to lend on investments that indeed depreciate rather than appreciate over the years.

That's the biggest hurdle is just pulling the trigger so good work.

Neither of them have any understanding of tenant law and I want them to be aware that the issues they have complaints about are unreasonable and would'nt hold up in a court of law.

Stop looking for hurdles and barriers.

Sometimes it is too easy for me to get distracted by the hurdles down the road.

Then they try to sell a home with an unreasonable ARV and rehab estimate and wonder why they can't sell their 'deal'.One way to get better is to get a rehabber to come with you to estimate the job.

After this hurdle, if she acts up again, I'll pull all the trap doors in my lease agreement to flush her out.
