If we can continue to buy with a good Margin of Safety/Exit Strategy with solid Rental Rates, how can we loose?

I loosely considered this option too, when state farm jacked my rates up by 50% when I filed no claims and no other clear cause for it.

Your risk is your ability to judge ARV accurately ahead of time.If you're going to buy and hold for appreciation, I think Florida is a bad short term play but given how hard areas have been hit, in 30 years prices are bound to have gone up.If you're looking to be a landlord, cash flow calculations are pretty easy.

I'd rather forego some profit by not having the inspection contingency and taking the chance of something drastically wrong, than loosing out on the deal completely.Plus, as already stated, even with a 0 day inspection period in the original PA, it looks good to the AM, but when the offer is accepted, the addendum overrides the PA and you get your inspection period back anyway.

Other than the tenant loosing the hardware to secure their own flat panel, do you see any issues with a permanent flat panel mount in a rental of this type?

They certainly didn't loose money booking the loan.

That way you would get the effect you want (loosing the dude-n-dollas) yet not impose any more requirements on forum participation.

Perhaps it would be more honest to come to this realization and instead enjoy an extended weekend in Vegas burning the money on loose women, high stakes poker and your mind altering substance of choice.

2 percent rule starts to loose relevancy once you start exceeding gross rents of around 500 to 500 in my area and in many others from what I have gathered on BP.

Anthony,what you will save in great rates, you will loose in paying more for the property.
