Rental property real estate is an awful investment right now but people are afraid to admit it or are blinded by what they read here on BP.

If not, you are just flying blind and being a consumer, not an investor.

Most first-time investors shop blindly and end up learning the hard way..Also make sure to present the deal clearly to the lender.

@Gerard Scranton without the current value and ARV, we're all flying a bit blind and guessing!

I'd also see if they are doing things to help keep the house cool during the day-keeping windows closed, having curtains or blinds closed to reduce the amount of direct light coming in (ie literally the sun shining in through the windows-not simple daylight).

I’m totally going into this blind and having to learn on my own. 

It's like the blind leading the blind.

LOLRepeating what others have said;  blind SMS has spam violation risk, fines, etc. 

One of our students ranks #1.This is their stats:The guy ranking #1, is one of our students and I have access to his stats and leads:They have 33,000 backlinks while the guy ranking #1 only has 20 brutally outperforming them both in ranking and I can assure you, I DOUBT they get (many if any) SEO leads in that market.Carrot was promoting them because they make money off of each other completely fooling many people that blindly trust Carrot. 

Don't blindly follow anyone.
