As soon as you go into nicer neighborhoods people are smart enough to not get themselves in a situation where they get super motivated to sell their house fast for cash and also smart enough to bring it on market instead of doing a back door deal with a wholesaler.

There could be a motive.

You only talk to highly qualified and motivated sellers and you don't waste any time training the VAs.

Unlikely no need to change property management, they too are motivated to protect your home and have it rent ready. 

I'm my opinion they are both good HML providers, LendingHome was good to me and worked with me when I had no experience so that was a plus on the flip side (no pun intended), Renvo is top notch, I can reach out to Eric Workman, the  VP of lending, anytime as I have his cell phone and he typically gets back to me right away whether its text, phone call or email.

This afternoon, we let Tenants know that we have a prospective buyer and a Realtor who will view the home in two days at 1:45pm.Tenant sent us a text citing California Civil Code Section 1954 stating they have a right to not let us enter.

The only time I ever heard from the number was a generic "welcome" text and then another message when I asked for a refund to contact his team.

I like buying the 30k to 40k houses from motivated owners for cash and fixing them up to keep as rentals.

Reductions in the price of long-standing homes may be an indication of motivated sellers, providing a chance for a negotiation, particularly if Zillow estimates are lower.

Seller is motivated, looking for a quick sale.
