Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

If anyone has experience with taking over a mortgage, I’d appreciate your insight. 

In my experience, the good ones are expensive, typically require a subscription, and sometimes they even do a physical inspection of your premises to verify it is a legitimate person / business in US.

Just by having those two traits they are in the top 25%, based on my experience. 

I think you have a good plan, BRRRR is still a great route in the current market, and especially for the states you are already in - both Indiana and Georgia are very well positioned for BRRRR deals in my view / experience

For the mostly passive San Diego RE investor, you will need to be patient to achieve worthy return.  

This was another great tenant.Regarding Zillow applications, I differ with Kevin's experience. 

From leaving my home friends and family I met some really good people and I hoped to share that experience and learn more about realestate in the process How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

What is the experience with this program - Pro/Cons, watch outs, etc?. 

Your experience is not normal for Memphis and not normal for this zip code.The 38109 property is likely an absolute no-go for out-of-state investors.
