@Lori Edelman if you want a better experience, in a better market (Detroit), DM us please.

So we never bought anything that was more than 75% of ARV current condition.

I had an experience with a terrible tenant who reported me for a bogus claim but by making the claim it allowed me to gain access needed to get photos of the condition of the property, and then the tenant refused to allow maintenance people in which really helped prove my side of the situation.If possible, explore alternative dispute resolution options like offering the tenants a cash-for-keys agreement.

But it goes to show everyone reading this that marketed projected returns are often the primary metric many investors look at.
