Even though you say it passed inspection is there some issue that makes it undesirable?

Samson, I have more to add:@Justin Silverio is right, if the ARV is only 109 in this area, it's either in an undesirable neighborhood, or its out in Western MA, or maybe extremely rural

Some neighborhoods sell very slow at ANY price because they're so undesirable (especially areas that only drug dealers want to live in).

Similarly, our experience has found batt insulation to be undesirable for insulation of floors over unconditioned basements/crawlspaces, but mostly due to is propensity to capture and retain moisture and that it's insulation density is insufficient to provide an adequate thermal barrier in the 8-12" typically afforded by the floor joist system (the 8-12" measurement includes the 1.5-2" rigid board layer spanning the underside of the joists themselves).

Most all of them focus on the more undesirable areas of town.I have a theory that there are some great wholesalers out there, but they work with a small number of investors in a closed group.

Even in Dallas, $1 million in some areas of the city may be considered undesirable listings.Good luck.

While not foolproof, having for example, a second property inspector to inspect the first inspector's finding for veracity will help you avoid (but not eliminate) some undesirable outcomes.

I look at mandatory renter's insurance as a way to weed out undesirable tenants.

Friends over usually means late drinking, crack smoking/dealing and other undesirable events.We do plan for $100/tenant/month but with water bills as high as $225/month and heating bills as high as $425... on average we exceed the $100/tenant (in the winter).
