I think that is why I found the deposit so appealing because they would handle all of the above, seemed like a better way for REO agents. 

.- Almost impossible to get any kind of unit damage paid for beyond what you have in a security deposit The rest of your statements about the homes needing a ton of work, contractors costing the same, and dealing with properties that are very tough to force appreciate are spot on.I personally do not invest in Section 8 housing anymore because they are normally cash flow purchases.  

Seller disclosed leases and may have kept half of deposit.

We'll call it a Closers Cage Match. 

Or for Closing cost, Ernest money deposits, etc.

For example contractor qoutes you 30k for renovations with a deposit of 10k.

Hi Megha,Generally speaking, our capital partners are okay with cabin-style homes in the Smoky Moutain region used as STR/LTRs, but we would need to see the property to get a better idea of whether it is a match for us and our partners. 

The tenants must have a strong application and a landlord reference with the cat, pay a larger deposit and higher rent, and they are inspected more often.Nothing will stop the odor.

So, sorry we weren’t a match Michael.

Value being in an area where homes are selling fast, appreciating in value, and the comps in the neighborhood match your "magic number", what youre looking to sell property for one day or rental amount.
