Every job your tenants have today will disappear in the foreseeable future.

I dropped the price to $1800 no utilities included I’ve had 3 hits so far one was viewed the property and loved it then when it was time for the background check she disappeared.

Maybe I was lucky that I have started investing before information became ubiquitous on the internet.The biggest fear (being cash flow negative) is not even a real threat, because it is manageable and it will fix itself over time.

Their threat is they will go to court and trial by jury.anyone else have experienced such a thing and have any advice or suggestions to deal with this situation?

I even took one down a while back from the amount of threats from one of these mortgage fraud guys in Metro Atlanta. 

If they disappear, it shows you were right.

I just don’t know if he would sign it since he all of a sudden disappeared.

Contracctors jack up the scope and cost mid rehab, disappear for 3 weeks, inspector takes 3 weeks each.This is why every flipper needs lots of education AND to hook up for every rehab with an experienced local rehabber/flipper/or rental rehabber to check in on your project to give you tips and helps.Where can you cut corners and where not to.   

Also greatly important are quality contractors at great prices who won't disappear with your 50% deposit.

In fact, since the pandemic and inflation hit, the 2% Rule seems to have all but disappeared in all real estate discussions and been replaced with the “1% Rule” in this tighter market.
