A visual inspection and a pressure test should uncover most issues. 

The assumptions that are made by the respective types does not make their arguemnts flawed, it only shows which type of clientel they are likely to market to because they have found it effective for them.

We bought a house that had good bones, and that paid off in a big way as we uncovered no major renovation surprises.

If you've found some that seem profitable just make sure you do the due diligence and uncover all of the costs.

If it is set very low, either you are dealing with a seller that doesn't know what they have / the market or they know but there are some issues to uncover. 

They will ask enough questions to uncover the fact that you were transferred and may require proof of such?

I didn't have a contractor or anyone inspect it yet and property is being sold as is. what are some strategies I can use to talk the sell down a couple thousand in case there is a bigger issue that I will uncover later. please Help

Low rent tenants are willing to live with more flaws, fewer extras, and won’t be as demanding about discretionary maintenance and improvements.Fewer evictions.

IE guaranteed returns.and to think rents always go up .. is very flawed.. we you are not in SF or Silicon valley( were I was raised incidentally )   But I am sure it will work out.. most turn key companies frown on gurantees as its simply an inducement to sell what could be a not ready for prime time product...

A year isn't quite enough to say it's fantastic, but I love it in the kitchen and there are no flaws popping up yet.
