Based on my experience with the cost, revenue and expenses of Indy and KC I would consider purchasing there again...as for my experience in Dallas area I won't buy there again. 

Judy Le, why would you consider throwing away a revenue producing asset?

That, or find a lender who will go on the search for you.What's your credit and revenue like?

Thanks Blake and Kyle...I heard back from Cozy and they said their revenue model consists of making money from charging for screening reports, collecting 2.75% from tenants who pay with credit/debit cards and the $2.99 per month per unit for quicker deposits. 

These are the properties that you want to keep your eye on, and will likely yield the best revenue.

Flipping PropertiesIf the primary objective of your real estate business, or one of your real estate businesses, is to buy, potentially fix up an existing property and resell it within one year, the Internal Revenue Service can consider that to be an active trade or business.

Find good software, figure out how to do dynamic pricing/yield mgmt so you can show owners how you can increase income (price for max revenue in season, occupancy in off season), hire good housekeepers and make a good corny website.

I'm excited by the residential and commercial real estate market of Southern California, and want to begin to explore investing while continuing to focus on my career in hospitality operations & sales/branding & entrepreneurship.I focus on opening and building operations and sales systems for event spaces, specifically venues converted from industrial buildings and independent, site-specific hotels and restaurants looking to create or repair revenue streams from weddings, corporate parties, workshops, and in-house programming.

Monthly revenue should be $8-9k/month and an ARV of $450,000+ based on comps in the area.We really don't want to have to walk away from this deal but we're struggling to figure out a way to make it happen.

We don't want them on the site -- we would rather forego the revenue for a quality user experience.
