Lesson: Keep a nice house and inspect before the inspector.Inspections then occur annually and you don't get paid if your property fails until you pass again. 

If the property is not cash flowing and is due to your mortgage carry, it will most likely require a cash buyer to work (or close to it). 

The buyer had the mobile home demolished. 

Well I have seen this come into play - I had someone who has a note in florida that was a non-owner occupied loan and the lender claims the borrower failed to make payments on this and attempted to record the deed in lieu.

.: Quote from @Marcus Auerbach: A lot of buyers have a psychological issue with #3.

- Can't tell you how many tenant background checks show they are buying lemon cars with 25% "we finance anyone" car loans that are designed to fail. - All they've got to learn is to save some of their income to pay their bills on time and they could then afford to buy a home.Instead, they spend every penny they make on things they don't really need and then blame everyone else.Take a look at a Class C or D tenant's bank statement to see the frivolous things they spend their money on and you'll better understand our society's biggest problem.

I am currently selling a 16-unit apartment complex, the first one to sell since 1998 when this buyer bought this one!

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:* Building a strong buyers list.* Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.* Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.
