I've even heard of GCs using auction type settings for returned items at Home Depot and Lowes for steep discounts.I've learned a lot about the GC game as I was up close to over 40 projects last two years and some went well and some did not and when they did not it was all Contractor related.If a GC isn't sourcing cheap materials at the same time milking the hell out of his 150-200 per day workers, then you can find yourself eating into your margins real fast. 

Skip the vacations, skip eating out with friends.  

In a short term, I'd eat the risk I'm not taking that for 1 year +. 

The buyers need (not request) a full 5%-6% seller assist and become complete menaces and eat into your margins with lengthy repair addendums following inspections. 

I would have already filed lawsuits - if you know of 10+ typically there is more, and those who get in line first get to eat first - you do not want to be like the guy in office space and sit around and do nothing and not be the one to get a piece of the cake.

They bring more stability and less turnover than STRs, but the discounted rates and occasional deep clean can eat into profits.

Always pay them back and eat the loss yourself.

The contract healthcare providers are always looking for some great MTR options close to work but also close enough to good eats, MARTA etc.  

NYC and the Bronx and Queens and Brooklyn are generally impossible wholesale areas anyway, but if you add in that you are an out-of-town student alleging to buy people's houses, NYers will eat you alive.

To top it off people like this, that are so normalized to their filth don't understand why deep cleaning eats their entire deposit.
