@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.

I personally don't care about pets as long as the owners are clean and organized.

Quote from @Mark Miles: Quote from @Erica Dike: Many investors tell me they’ve hired designers who either ignore practical needs (like cleaning) or just critique their space without a strategy.

The other thing I can think of that  they can do is use those in the dryer dry cleaning kits but not sure if you have the kind of tenants that might do that either with work clothes or drapes.

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Ended up buying the property after getting to know the owners who were cleaning up when I went over to ask them permission to cut down the leaning branches toward their roof.

The first time this happened, the board of directors got an email showing trash everywhere, and HOA management offered to get "their people" out there to clean asap. 

Let’s explore just two of the solutions that could help get you into your first home no matter the market.1.

When so many renters stopped paying rent during COVID, companies like SureVestor stopped taking new accounts because they were facing a significant number of claimes.I personally don't see it as a good solution.

What am I missing (besides in some instances you have a lower interest rate but do not get clean title to a property)?
