One solution I see some people do is to partner with another investor on a couple of deals where each brings something to the table...more capital, experience, etc.

If they don’t take the deal, you’ll need to proceed with eviction.

Do one deal together.

I think it's fair to say it's beyond normal wear and tear, but I'm not sure how much is fair to say "I'm going to have to deal with this somehow, and because of the scratches I'm deducting x." 

It's a super affordable real estate market where you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow/great cap rates.

Second main point: Avantstay has excellent systems to find guests who will treat property and neighborhood responsibly.

I wanted to recommend Smarter Contact, a powerful text and call platform that helps investors/agents/brokers and realtors to reach leads faster and close more deals.

Agent in Fredericksburg, VA looking to make my first deal. 

I work extensively funding deals for flippers in KC  Toledo  Cleveland Baltimore city and a few other markets in mid west..

The deal doesn't work as well with higher interest rates.
