Ask a home inspector for their mold guy if you don't have one already.If these are otherwise high maintenance tenants: offer them the opportunity to break the lease and move out with no penalty (besides damages, of course).

Don’t be afraid to reach out and offer value, even if it means going the extra mile in the beginning.

We currently target deals that fall through and then make a no-contingency cash offer to hold their original closing date.

Thanks all, I deeply appreciate y’all taking the time to offer advice and reach out.

I plan on offering that bonus commission and taking away that commission based on how soon they complete renovation. 

The best way to get started or increase that flow is to go to real estate investor meetups (@Leka Devatha has an amazing one in Seattle) and also answer questions in the local forums without ever asking or offering help in terms of your business.

I’ll sell to anyone with the down payment but most people don’t seem to have it.I guess I’m different in that regard I usually ask for 10% down.Every house I have sold in need of repairs they have fixed upI ask them how much they did it for or how they did it, their cost is 25%-50% my cost because they get the labor part for free from their community or themselvesThey are more community oriented than us white folk and really lend a hand to each otherI guess where this may be predatory is offering extremely low down payments which would also open up the buyer pool

Hi all,I've met and spoken with a few great prof's in the Columbus area, and since then, have made 2 offers on home (both didn't work out).I'm going out to visit in December to meet with and talk to a few people; including sellers directly.My question is for those of you who have experience and a few properties + in the mid-term / corporate rental realm.How have your vacancy rates changed over the last year to 2 years? 

Then you will be informed enough to make a rational offer on the property. 

Again, it's you.If you make your first offer and don't feel confident, you will win and get cold feet (this is the worst).
