If you are going to rip them off, I'd replace with something that is durable and requires less upkeep.

Many obstacles have come my way in the last month that we’re not seen ahead of time and it would’ve been very easy to just count my losses and give up. Keeping

The key to STR’s, in my opinion is location, location, quality of upkeep, and proper property management.

They are responsible for yard upkeep so I’m assuming it’s on them to simply take a shovel and clear the ends out but not sure.

Make payments on time: Payment history is weighted at 35% of your score..2.

So Im currently going through the contract for a property, and trying to weight the options of paying closing cost up front or having lender pay them for a higher interest rate %3.5 and $40 dollars more a monthWith them paying closing cost if frees up $5,600 upfront for rehab cost, now if I don't plan on being in this home for the long term (live in flip) should I even be concerned about the %.5 added on the loan.

This fund also goes to pay for general maintenance and upkeep items like air filters, light bulbs, and any other non-cap ex expenses.

They don’t give a lot of weight to what you think the performance will be.

They will either sell them for scrap weight or know some contact that refurbs old radiators and sells them for some crazy money. 

Current owner hasn't kept the best record upkeep, as five leases expired years ago and are on a month-to-month, with the other three leases expiring this year.
