Welcome @Quentin West it won't disappoint! 

It's disappointing that this didn't work for me, but I'll just fill up the rest of the furnished units with creatives and move on.

And even with them I won't be able to directly deposit my checks straight to my heloc- I'll have to deposit to checking and then transfer over so I can't use it exactly like a checking acct which is disappointing but will still work.

SFHs rarely produce much positive cash flow so don't be too disappointed.

@Tiffany BouldenIf you're in a high-competition area, where other people buy the same lists and mail to them, your response rates with purchasing lists will be disappointing for the cost.

I did see the Expo and very disappointed that I'll be out of town that week.  

I am talking not disappointed, but saying our inspector doesn't know homes of that time period (he does, he actually used to buy & hold and manage homes from the exact era!

If you want passive REI, then you should look into buying a REIT instead, since that will better serve this purpose, but going into investing in individual property thinking that it will or should be very passive is frankly setting yourself up for disappointment IMO.

I'm with @James Maradits - expecting top level, professional, world-class service for rock bottom prices is always a recipe for disappointment and frustration.And while any service provider should seek to find the best for their client, the real world implication is that we have only so many hours in the day.

@Andrew Brown If you want want the buyer to get financing in 1-2 years then you definitely need to set the price to what you think the house will appraise at, otherwise you will be setting them up for a big disappointment.
