It’s worth researching to see if this might be a good fit for your situation.Lease Structure and Clauses: Work with an attorney to draft a lease with strong clauses for late fees, maintenance responsibilities, and other terms to protect your interests.Target Stable Tenant Profiles: While no tenant is risk-free, targeting tenant pools that historically have more stability (e.g., retirees, dual-income households, or tenants relocating for work) may reduce risk.Stay Up to Date on Landlord-Tenant Laws: Understanding your rights and obligations can help you navigate issues more effectively if they arise.That said, if the potential risks are keeping you up at night and the financial pressure of an eviction would be too much, selling may still be the best option for peace of mind.

I have found that they worked really well when it comes to getting better tenants and better rents, and having less hassle, less headaches, and then getting a higher sales price; without paying closing costs or realtor fees.

Get a good cap rate basically covers your financing and ideally 20% more for maintanance, prop management fees.

(It could be rented for more, maybe $3000/mo, but I'm only comfortable charging so much on principle.

I would push for very low or no money down but having a Realtor that needs to have their fee paid it may still not work.Look up the owner if possible through truepeoplesearch.com and call them up directly.

My company The Property Center (TPCrents.com) charges 10% only if you have one property.

They should not charge the one who is giving the leads. 

I have done some research, but I’ve found that many mentors and coaches are asking for significant fees, which feels like a large financial commitment, especially as a newcomer to real estate investing.

Well it is doing loans for folks who bought sight unseen and trusted contractors/turnkey providers who sell the dream but in the end do the absolute min in rehab work (even though charge for a much better job) and/or sell a buyer on a class B type neighborhood that is  reality a class D neighborhood in an already low income town.

We need to close in 1 week and worst case I may need to buy all cash and refi to a different lender losing my property inspection fee the lender charged.Is this a townhouse or condo?
