I have an absurd amount of door knocking experience, here's my two cents;1) People know if they want to sell their house or not.

If the tenant has a score below this, it will result in an increased deposit or cosigner requirement.A bankruptcy discharge will result in application denial.A paid rental collection and/or judgment will result in application denial.Smoking Policy: Our rentals are strictly non-smokingTenant’s guests who smoke should only smoke outdoors, at least 25 feet from any door or window and not on the propertyTenants will be fully responsible for damage caused by them or their guests during their tenancyPublic Records Criteria:An eviction and criminal records search will be conducted as part of the screening process.Applicants will be denied for the following or similar reasons: False, inaccurate, or incomplete applications; credit scores, evictions,judgments related to rental residency, tax liens, unpaid child support; current bankruptcy proceedings; felony convictions, multiple felonies, physical or violent crimes, domestic violence, sex offenses; and/or appearance on any sexual offense or terrorist database.Applicants may be denied or required to pay additional deposit or rent for the following or similar reasons: Insufficient verifiable income, excessive late rent payments, broken leases, property damages, unpaid rent, mortgage not current, foreclosures, credit scores or no credit score, excessive credit collection balances, slow pays, drug related offenses, etc.Cosigner Criteria:If a co-signer is required, the co-signee must have a gross monthly income 3x the monthly rent.

In addition there's a fee of half months to full months rent for putting in a new tenant.Some want to charge a fee per unit for taking on your business (which I think is absurd.

More than likely its just false advice.

There is a false assumption that you should be cash flowing the first year that you purchase your house hack.

If a product in the area is offered at 4% or higher, there is something suspicious and likely false about it.

Here's one of my own examples: I had a house that was in great shape but had a late 50's bathroom, complete with late 50's false tile (plastic) all over the bathroom, including the shower.

That gives false hope to every single newbie investor reading this and that is a disservice to the community.Secondly, true great cash flow is typically obtained by purchasing distressed properties at large discounts.

That's false.
