There are many reasons why I haven't pursued the arbitrage model, but mainly that it takes too long for the ROI after investing all your time and effort into buying furniture and renting and paying utilities.Let's say you rent an apartment for $1500 and you spend $7000 to furnished it.

If you’re In a title state make proof of utility pay off a condition of closing.

The 90% they are paying you back is probably 1/3 of what they're actually making by you committing to a deal.

They pay rent before the due date, clean the property after every client, and if something breaks they usually repair it before I'm aware because their clients will give them bad ratings.

After spending 16,000 he's paying 2850.

As long  the tenants pay the rent each month, increasing their rent will be very tough and getting them to leave will be extremely tough.
