If the property values in your market soften, if the tenant moves in and destroys it, fire, earthquakes, floods, hail, hurricane, another lock down requires you to keep a non-paying tenant - honestly anything - and my position in the property is at jeopardy.

Basically my whole business was destroyed in 24 hours...The county has my property (w/o) land valued at $202,207. 

However, since the appliances (black) that are in there are all in working order, I feel like I would be destroying a lot of value by taking them out and putting in stainless. 

And as for the renter pool being smaller, I’d rather lose a month of rent than have my houses destroyed and stinking.  

Moisture brings mold/mildew, mold/mildew destroys wood.

I learned about flooding in a basement and how it can destroy your investment numbers.

In the almost 3 years I have been managing, I have never had a bad renter that destroyed anything other than a pair of sheets.

Yet, I didn't share that with @Rob Pattison because he wouldn't probably care about it and I didn't want to destroy his dream.

Success for me is for it to be common knowledge that we are the one to choose.Here let me show you because everyone here talks good talks but almost no one walks the walk too.Do a search for .. pretty much any keyword a motivated seller would type into Google to sell their house fast... not only are we #1... but scroll all the way down:Look at this video.It is not just motivated sellers..it is pretty much everything I am involved with:We friggin not just dominate, we annihilate and destroy the competition!

I will destroy you and wipe the floor with you if you come to me and tell me that... other than that...Do how ever you feel you can get motivated seller off market leads, and once you have a good contract, selling that contract ain't no thang baybee!
