(re: your friend's host's excuse of traveling overseas, they've got internet overseas too, dude)  I think AirBNB's policy of not letting you rebook cancelled dates is a fair one; after all, if you can't host Person A, why should circumstances be any different for Person B?  

I'd bring other person as witness (or protection) if you're dealing with crazy types. 

Several of our homeowners haven’t even seen their rental in person, a few have never even been to Tennessee - ever!

Well, anywhere but California hahaha....I have about one person a week from CA reach out to me looking to move to Nashville. 

However, the quality of a transaction coordinator, in my humble opinion, comes down to the person. A

I swear I talk to at least 1 person a month that's just gotten back from a course on how to "wholesale" with "no risk" what so ever.  

You can try it yourself, but I'd give the average person a 50% chance of getting through a successful eviction their first time. 

Scenario Is person A and B they are exactly they have the same job, same car payment, same income, everything is identical except one thing that will drastically change their credit score.

In a situation such as this how would you approach someone who I’d like to offer buying the house in distressed condition (subject to major huge things such as foundation issues.) is this person a likely candidate for selling?
