There is ZERO chance this tenant took your stuff because they noticed you didn’t say stealing from you wasn’t allowed.

i.e. how do they arrive where they do on analysis...

If you cant close the deal without borrowing money or selling stuff (which both frequently take time), then its not a cash offer until those funds have settled in your account.If you are going to borrow money, a 15yr or 30yr mortgage is probably going to bring the lowest interest rate available.

Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this:

I have no mercy and no tolerance for poor ops when it comes to stuff like this.

Then there’s city regulations—some places heavily restrict short-term rentals, so you’ve got to check the rules.If you find the right spot and automate stuff (guest communication, cleaning, etc.), it can be profitable.

(other than the seller financing stuff because I've asked and nobody seems to be interested)You’re looking at the wrong stuff!  

@Griffin Malcolm Interesting stuff!

That’s the stuff people gloss over in spreadsheets but makes a real difference in how smoothly a project runs.

The guy who runs it lays it out like this..1-5 rentals you are still doing okay, have more stuff come up between all rentals the closer you get to 5 or at 5.
