Never, Never, Never, Never.I have had EVERY realtor ask for one, proof of funds or loan qualification letter, but never a motivated seller.But I was afraid of the question also when I first started.

Motivated buyers are now bidding up houses to prices they cannot realistically afford.

Double closes, and all sorts of weird stuff we've always used Old Tampa Bay Title. 

Start with anyone who has been on the market for at least 60 days as these home owners are starting to feel the heat and are probably motivated to sell. 

It's definitely motivating helping other investors buy and sell and seeing what kind of profits are possible.

The information sources in Germany are mostly scam - all sorts of 'experts' who claim it's possible to get a loan with 0% interests and a yield of 50%... 

That's who I wanted to hear from and the real story about how it is to own that sort of asset class.One reason is I read this post I think there is a newer one as well about this. the blog article is not so much about D class properties, but it got me to thinking, and I wondered what other investors thought about this type of investing. https://www.biggerpockets.com/... 

I don't see that the license or certifications are helping people sort out the good from the bad there either.

Yes, I can take cash out and try to invest in higher return projects, a sort of carry trade, but the reality is that increasing return on equity generally involves more risk. 

That said, it could be that the location of your property has some sort of local ordinance that has a 90-day limit, and Airbnb is simply following that.
