Long time visitor, first time poster.

Overall, the whole property needs some serious TLC and about 10 new tenants.When talking to the owner, he suggested that he would evict the HUD tenant based on property damage, and raise all rent to $700 before he sold because he knows it's too low (to me this screams turnover and lost income... though I don't think it would take long to fill it back up due to demand, but lots of time, energy and $$ to get them up to standard).Overall, I do believe my vision would work... fixing it up, only allowing qualified tenants, and making it a nicer apartment in the community (I think we could get $750).  

All are still buying today and none of them are running around like chicken little screaming "2018 is going to be the next crash!!"

Then the neighbors would find all kinds of violations to report you to the town, on rules that you never heard of.I have a SFR and the current tenant is a family with 4 cars, and I warned them to be careful of parking in front of other peoples homes, especially when they have visitors, and don't get into arguments its a public street.

I can't imagine there's much of a rental market for mansions, and we don't have enough visitors for Airbnb.

This topic provides information on documenting and qualifying a borrower's income from sources other than wages and salaries including: [long list follows].Honey goes farther than salt, so please don't go calling up lenders screaming about the ECOA thing linked above, but take a look and see if it might be worth doing a little more "dialing for dollars" to find a lender local to where the real estate is that's open to non-canonical income sources. 

I only offered on 4.Now all 4 offers have been accepted.I'm not a syndicator.All offers need EMD or contracts are void.I'm not a wholesaler type of investor and have never assigned contracts before.Not the way I like doing business.I guess I'll just let 3 of the 4 go.For now.It's not like they're screaming deals or steals anyway.Few such exist in good areas in Jacksonville these days.Just thinking aloud into your minds,BP.Haven't posted in a long while.Happy July 4!

This screams tenant hiding things.  

I see this a lot: Tenant agrees to a place, moves in, and then sets the world on fire complaining about things that were clearly obvious prior to them committing to anything but still expect them to be changed.I'm not arguing that the landlord may or may not be a complete sketchball but some of your issues scream "overly needy tenant...".

They report "visitor spending on lodging" among other data.
