Again while they may legally be bound to an agreement, you are going to have to go through the court system to get them to abide by it, and that is not going to be easy or cheap.

On paper the cheap houses look great, but the reality is they are harder to manage, have higher turn over and cost a lot more time and money.Buying before you retire is a good idea because once you retire, your ability to borrow money is going to decrease as you don't have a regular income from a job.As you want to fix houses up, why not buy a house that needs a bit of work, live in it while doing the renos and then move when you sell it. 

They either take too long or they throw in a ton of fees before closing making it not worth it?

I like the cash flow, but I don't want to price anyone out of the market for a cheap house.

There are varying opinions on this but mine is: cheap never goes out of style.

Currently there is that extremely thin, hard, cheap landlord carpeting (and also an area with cheap thin stick on hard tile squares). 

How dang cheap is it?

My listing is 4 bed 3 bath single family and they were able to book it for cheap due to number of people sliding scale discount I applied by mistake as a first timer on the platform Will closing my bank account prevent them from holding me responsible for guest's relocation fees??

You’re just throwing money at the government. 

And, it ain't cheap.
