.: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @James WiseI was sitting next to a doctor at a conference who did a private money loan and lost $$200k then he did a jv deal where he became co-owner of a LLC, gave a personal guarantee on the asset and put money in the deal to buy it but didn’t put a lien on property so partner went and leveraged the assets as well and ran off and dr had personal guarantee.They then bought a property and renovated half of it then decided to knock it down….I had a successful shoulder surgeon ask me to list his apartment building that was under-performing.

If the underwriting goes smooth and I can have the cash on hand at closing, then maybe the owner wouldn’t care how the cash offer is funded. 

I'm dealing with a 70-year-old owner who has spent decades spending every bit of her monthly cashflow.

Many houses and duplexes that have been fully redone as well as some that are still owner occupied that will get redone when purchased.

So you as an owner, would you be willing to ask for less to have your property rented quicker and "lose" the extra $1200 or so per year or would you rather lose that $1200 per month because your property is sitting vacant.In regards to demand, Cleveland is one of the top Sec8 markets out there. 

Also, we are one of the few (owners) who pick up the phone, especially after hours and weekends.Google search and ads are our main pull.

Pest control varies in each state,, but I would call other owners to see what they are doing.

Too many small business owners get caught up wanting to look the part and spend money on things that do nothing for creating profit.

I can give you dozens of examples of owners who believed they could care for their property better than a stranger.
