Simple does NOT mean "easy" or pain free. 

Given the latter costs, a corporation can be the best solution only if you buy multiple properties.

Any recommendations for free tools to do market research?

Your goal is to plant the idea in their mind and create a situation where selling to you feels like the easiest and most logical solution for them.If you haven’t already, the first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know what you could afford if you were to purchase the property conventionally.

You are dealing with your first eviction/rehab but if that happens again in 6 months and it takes months to evict will that financially stress you?

Best to hire it out, even though it hurts the margins, it saves my time and stress substantially.

It allows you to skip the stress and time-consuming process of managing rehab projects and focus on the cash flow aspect. 

Even if one has to provide the education to some of the parties as to why a particular creative solution makes a win-win-win for all. 

I contacted ALE solutions on Friday through their housing request form and just resubmitted with a longer term minimum based on what you stated here.

I may have a solution if you are..I'm interested.
