A landlord can keep those reserves and use it for normal wear and tear or more serious damages.  

I recently cold called a list of approximately 500 pre-foreclosure properties and had a much lower answer rate than I normally have.

Keep one thing in mind @Kyle Doneyif this is a contractor you have a good relationship with you may want to come to some compromise if you are asking them to do business in a city where they don't normally work.

I am very new to this, so I was floored when I found a property that had a tax increase of 165% in one year. https://www.zillow.com/homes/3800-36th-St-E,-Minneapolis,-MN...Is this normal?

He's also requesting 5 more gallons of ceiling paint than I would normally use on a house this size.

what I like about MLS is you can go through a normal buying process. .wholesalers want to hype their deals info is wildly incorrect.. they want up front NON refundable deposits and your not getting any of that back.. they just try to create a false sense of urgency.MLS you take your time make your offers you can offer less you protect your EM you have inspections you can re trade within your contract time lines etc etc..MUCH more buyer protection that way.. the market will dictate the final outcome.. not a wholesaler hype machine and no real due diligence.

Hi Beth,Are you saying you will rent out this home to one of your business, rather than a normal tenant?

The MLS, due to high competition and normally high asking prices, wouldn't be the best option to find deals. 

One thing I will also mention is that there is a communication flow to managing them that is much different than a normal rental. 

A normal market has between 6-7 MOI.
