I am debating adding an actual rough offer into my letters, as I think sometimes calling or writing and essentially asking if they have considered selling almost always gets a no because the owner assumes you will lowball them, like most other investors. 

Stay patient @Kyle Pierrehumbert. 16 derogatory marks and occasional workers staying is enough for a no.

Ab1482 refers to this as a no fault eviction (terrible name as lease term is up so it is not an eviction).  

It's a no for sure.

Similarly when you are buying pre-owned furniture, people tend to advertise if it comes from a no pet household. 

Put an offer in on it and the seller raised the price way above what its worth, so thats a no go.

I have a no B.S policy when I work with contractors, because of the amount of scams / theft there is in the industry.

Investment rates in the 7.5%-8% range makes seller financing at lower %'s a no brainer.

Once you have the building plans and projected budget, you can get a no-cost estimate on the tax benefits you are entitled to.

That means effective showings, effective applications, checking references, background checks, collecting cash or cashier checks for first & deposit and waiting for them to clear, starting the eviction process immediately if they are a no pay, etc.
