Quote from @Michael Rodriguez: Howdy fellow Memphis investors,Any ideas for protecting thieves from pulling out the HVAC copper pipe? 

It most likely won't help them in this case but let's face it - they're not big on resolving their own problems especially when you're accommodating them.The longer you allow them to live rent-free with no solution in place, the longer they will do just that.

Your buyer pool is essentially reduced to cash buyers, and a savvy cash buyer will figure out why they are the only offer on the table, and reduce what they are willing to offer in turn (since they know they can't refi to pull the liquidity back out of the house for redeployment elsewhere).

If they send you something for 500K and say it can be sold for 700K and you pull comps which show $550K then that is a bad wholesaler.

If I had an answer to my money issue then I would quickly pull the trigger on a good deal. 

I believe it is because the house went over budget with the first project manager so the solution is to just ignore it.  

My Wife and I are going to pull the trigger in 2025 and are looking in the Central PA area to buy our first STR.

If you have a few single family rental homes and are looking for a way to streamline leases, applications and rents, maybe rentredi is the right solution, but if you have a multi unit property or any serious management needs, look elsewhere. 

I'd personally say pulling your water heater out and replacing with a wall mount on demand one, would be worth the cost to have in unit washer dryer if you are staying there or renting it, it would be worth it.its always worth doing the big stuff well and correct even if you are cleaning up after someone, the long term hold always prevails, its just a little frustrating front sometimes, but hang in there!

@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.
