When you go out to eat and have a nice meal and great service, do you stiff your waiter/waitress too? 

I could see some abuse by those guests that are looking for free stays.Also, most of the "critical info" like service animals and accessibility should be in your listing.

I would eat the cost associated with the inspection. 

Thats property management and completely different animal. 

If you are buying a single family house, two trips per year will likely eat up all your "free cash flow", so you might as well have it be a place you would go anyways to visit family, or near a vacation spot, etc.

But what if your current financing strategy is quietly eating into your profits?

But realize also that if you pay off a 2.99% loan your payment on the DSCR is most likely going to skyrocket and eat up a lot of that  cash flow.  

You should have masks with you at all times for environmental pollutants when looking at hoarder houses - animal feces, dead animals, asbestos, gas, etc.As for protocol, hoarder houses are not an easy buy because if the resident is still there it's not a money issue, it's an emotional issue.

All those things can eat up the chemicals very quickly and lead to an unsanitary condition.3) Absolutely ZERO guests wants to hear that you did not drain clean and refill the hot tub after the prior guest.

If you find something, go hard money and then spend the next few months re-leveraging the existing debt.You can have your cake and eat it too, just be patient my friend.
