All original tenants were long term low rent tenants.

In some markets is low, like 70% ARV.I recommend finding a good wholesaling guru course, working for someone/partnering with another investor or just having someone you can pester. 

Makes sense, why would an investor like yourself pay the same amount as you when there's a ton of inventory in a low barrier of entry neighborhood.

Some folks have gotten used to low quality landlords that don't fix things and think that is normal.  

They went a step beyond and put money into the backyard space with a nice fire pit, string lights,  mulch, and lots of landscaping, which gives an awesome look.   

Low risk properties have predictable returns, predictable returns are better than high risk high returns. 

Downside is you won’t get the equity accumulation - but if you did this in conjunction with the properties that may not cash flow - the private lending income could help offset the low to no rental income from appreciating properties - so you get the best of both worlds without double the mortgage payments hanging over your head.

maybe some light repairs after the tenant moves in...so your first few years after a purchase are typically stabilization, and you investing your money into the property.

**light goes off in head** - maybe that's why all these "guru's" are working hard trying to sell training rather than working on deals.

I also asked about any plumbing issues, which I would get inspected during the due diligence phase, along with other major concerns.While I don't have much experience assessing houses and determining the extent of repairs, I’ve spent a lot of time in stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s.
