Do I just do my normal routine, follow up after a couple days if I don’t hear anything? 

Consider cleaning, lawn care, snow removal and supplies as well as utilities  in your calculations.  

We buy seller financed notes routinely and would be happy to evaluate what you have.

A clean U&O means the Seller doesn't have to do anything.The home inspector is a different issue.

I've allowed pets in my STR for five years and haven't had any problems except some extra cleaning a couple times, which was paid for by the guest. 

That project taught him that buyers in these well-established neighborhoods pay close attention to the details..things like making sure the ceiling lines are clean, storage is intuitive, and every inch feels purposeful rather than tacked on.For your project, thinking about the functionality of the added space is key.

I came across few duplexes that I’m looking into in Wichita, hopefully inspection comes back clean and we buy these ones.

OP said: It’s frustrating, especially because our due diligence came back clean, leases were solid, and the property had just been fully renovated.

I don't think the fact that prices have gone up 5 years in a row is a good clean indicator that they will continue to do so, if it cashflows today and I can hold it for 20 years inflation should do most of the heavy lifting for me. 

If you warned them and they didn't clean things up that could be a reason. 10.
