Dont try to hose your buyer it will haunt you in the long run with a bad reputation and possible a deal not closing. 

Before we started supplying W/Ds you should have seen some of the dumb installations I saw done by tenants - supply hoses jerry rigged with duct tape, drain lines not hooked up, dryer vents crushed flat, dryers miswired, etc.

Lost a house to foreclosure in 2009 was going to rent current hose living in know form sister-law .

Nice little cash flow gig with hardly any maintenance required as it's electric over hydraulic; no gas motor, etc

Long term, can you weather a down turn or are you going to be hosed if the market goes down for a couple of years?

Feel like drinking through a fire hose and sleep, work and everything else is getting in the way.

The downside is it’s more risky since you have major rehab, unless you use your own cash you are paying for money twice, once on the purchase and then again on the refinance.It makes it easier to scale in theory since you can use the same money again and again, but you can get hosed if you don’t know what you’re doing, get a bad contractor or your appraisal at the refinance is lower then you needed

No doubt there are some bad companies out there, but if you got hosed on a bad PM, that's equally a reflection on you, as well as the PM.

Where's a hose or a shower?"

Add to that good foundation maintenance, while you're living in the home...soaker hoses around the foundation in the summer, and you shouldn't have any issues with the house or selling it later.
