I notice you skip right over the heart of the matter, which is HOW is one looking for an under-market property.

@Joe S.This subject is near and dear to my heart.

Heart wrenching to hear when a tenant puts over $30k nonrefundable deposit down that Chris takes and Seller doesn’t receive, and Tenant buyer loses everything!

Obviously that person does not have your best interest at heart. 

My heart would like to let him stay for free but I doubt I can afford it and also, I’d like to make sure my interests and his are adequately protected in case this get “squirrelly” in any way.

I "accidentally" fell into my first property (I bought a place right away, at the right time during the heart of COVID), but then moved to the North Carolina area because I am on active duty in the military.

I remember walking out of the bank with my heart fluttering thinking where is this money going? 

Let me preface what I am about to say next by saying I am a fix and flipper by heart.

Yeah truth is my heart is not really in real estate more so in stocks/options etc.

Travel nurses hold a special place in my heart because my husband was hospitalized for a long time and we met so many special travel nurses and other medical professionals ; )  That said, the niche of medium term rentals is growing every day.
