That will give them instant cashflow to prepare for potential vacancy and the downtime that it may take to turn the unit.

But, for all the Minimum Wage Slaves that work in the Retail and Service businesses, it made the Rents double and triple at a time of Inflated gas, food, medicine to where my old tenants call me begging for help to find a place to move to.

Even tho I clearly state in all intro calls that they are a "hit and a miss" in tertiary markets like Toledo and to not rely on them when investing with Ohio Cashflow.We will gladly use your "trusted" appraised value as the purchase price (Even tho our office manager clearly explained via email it was way too low and to dispute and try again, etc...)Minus all income received over the last 3 years.Minus all the time, resources and personal funds spent trying to satisfy you (We have a list).Feel free to compare your receipts to ours and we will buy it back today...Investing in a property, collecting cashflow for 3 years, getting a high repair bill, getting flustered and expecting the provider to buy back the property isn't fair in my opinion.You can't go to a restaurant, eat the food, fill your stomach and then say "the food was $#@% give me a refund."

Third Financial Preparation Evaluate your budget, savings, and credit score.

Do you list these or do you call an investor who is prepared to put in the effort to straighten things out?

I always have family and friends giving me negatives like " what is it doesn't rent" or who is going to "pay that much for rent" or "what if the tenant burns the house down" are these realistic situations and how do I prepare and understand to to come back if anything like this happens how do I plan ahead.3. should I go for a newer house with little to no rehab for 415,000 or something like 350,000 with like 10-20 in rehab?

Some seem to think people will tamper with them, if they are not individually packed, like you would get at a fast-food restaurant.Thanks in advance,Aaron

You want to have iron clad cases prepared if/when you have to be there. 

The successful bidder must be prepared to pay the balance of the purchase price within thirty (30) days after the approval of the sale.

In my market, buyers are looking for about 12% or more in gross rental income relative to purchase price, so if you have a $500K property that's only doing $40K/yr under the current management, don't post rental history (though most buyers will ask for it, so be prepared to explain why it's performing the way it is).Also, network with agents who specialize in STRs.
