If the numbers sorta work you may be able to offer less, or fix the ugly parts- renters may not care, look with their eyes not your own.

We'll never see eye to eye as our experiences and facts are completely different and you're at risk of sounding like a politician when telling us how honest you are and that you're here to serve us. 

@Nat Rojas  This all assumes you don't have eyes on the property pre-move out.

Also, keep a close eye on the MLS in your target market.

Keep an eye out for indicators of population increase or steady housing demand.The BRRRR approach may be appropriate for older properties, particularly if they require renovations.

I've heard that a lot of the Sub-To deals that the bank's have previously turned a blind eye to are having their Due On Sale Clauses enforced now that rates are remaining higher for the foreseeable future.How ya'll keeping the grift going now that the buck is due?

If you do go the GC route, just keep an eye on things as best you can.  

Include this in your sales pitch when reaching out.3) Offer STR services to build up cash and get your foot in the door...Cleaning, eyes on the property, landscaping, running to the store, small tasks such as a mail collection/trash day, offer a STR experience such as setting up for bachelor/bachelorette parties or grocery runs, etc...I think there's a missed opportunity with service based businesses and STRs. 

It'll be eye opening so you can learn more about how others are doing it and that'll help you decide whether or not its something that you can resonate with. 

I'll ask you this: Are you a savvy investor who keeps their eye on the ball?
