If you feel this would help, simply do it! 

Congrats = probably not perfect but getting a profit out of the first investment property experience is generally a huge win

I'm excited to share a small win in my journey into out-of-state real estate investing!

PPL is one you should start it, simply because it has the shortest cash cycle when you are cash strapped.

I simply bid low and negotiated up based on rental history of the house.

If you only have to put up with a handful of late payments over 2-4 months before their lease term ends, you could simply non-renew their lease for cause (consistent late rent payments), and then lease it to a new tenant. 

Appraisers simply take the square footage approach and don't seem to care about the extra kitchen and other amenities.

It's important to note that other wholesalers are more likely to JV with you and take a disposition fee rather than simply give or sell you their list.If you're interested in purchasing access to cash buyers, you might consider platforms like InvestorLift, which can cost $25-30K a year for their dispo services.

Also, offering renters an ice maker in the refrigerator is simply asking for extra repair calls when there are problems with it - which many over the years will have.

I negotiated terms that were a win/win for both parties.
