Those that do cash for keys Reward/encourage undesired behaviorMake it difficult for LL who are properly screening tenants from being able to detect a problem tenant. 

Public water connected, first floor bedroom, open front porch, enclosed rear mud room.

Do you look for properties which need more work or in previously undesirable neighborhoods or do you look for properties in tip top shape so you can increase the turns?

I would 100% call a lender and ask them what their requirements are so that there is no mud in your plan.

They problem is, they can always just say no, and you might just be stuck with an undesired tenant.

Then they tape and mud, before they even look at the rest of the house.

They would know the higher comp was because it had a basement even tho it was not listed, that kind of thing. bottom line, they can make deals out of thin air that a bad agent would botch up.one agent I'm working with is like walking through 18" deep mud.

If we do, I was thinking I’d update tile with white subway tile and neutral inexpensive floor and mud pan tile, and a new glass shower enclosure.We are in Clarksburg, MD (DC metro suburb) and I want to hear from you if you think it would hurt our rent if we wait.

There could be very undesirable people such as child molesters or convicted felons staying on your property so I would at least want them to not have access to the part of the house my family stayed in.
