(It was Hollywood and everybody has dogs)2) Somebody tried selling the appliances that came with the unit which included the fridge, dishwasher, stove & microwave.3) We were recently affected by the fires and had to evacuate, some tenants refused to evacuate even after police forced them to because they were "tougher than the fire".Have you heard of those horror stories about tenants completely trashing apartments and feces all over the apartment?

I'm definitely someone who prefers higher quality even if that means building a portfolio takes a bit more time.

.- It's not profitable for them to search for under-market priced houses, figure out repairs needed or what other problem is pushing the price down and do even more for a newbie investor that has analysis-paralysis and may never buy anything.Some questions you'll want to share the answers to with any agent you choose:1) Are you paying cash or getting a mortgage?

IIRC, RW even charges hourly rate fees if a property consumes too much time.

Even with owner financing, his primary concern should be receiving payments.

If finding a new replacement is more difficult then get your new property under contract first even before your old property closes.  

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).
