I am not hard-pressed for funds nor do I live off any cashflow from my properties.What would you do?

You don't have to do that.Get a property, get an inspection, get some guys out there to look at it. and if it's a go, then press the button.If it's a no-go, tell the seller's that it's going to cost more than you originally thought.

I think automation and AI will have more social impact on our world than the printing press, electricity, the automobile and the internet combined.And yes, I know how bold of a statement that is.

This means that pressing "send" on an email is equivalent to signing a piece of paper containing whatever statements appeared in the email. 

Unless you have a lot of handyman/contractor skills yourself, you'll be hard pressed to add enough value to a property to make it worth the effort Consider taking out a short term loan to fund the rehab projects, upgrades, and maybe additional features that will get you the highest return on your work, money, and risk!

We have 3 reservations already booked and we offered them 100% refund to cancel or 10% refund to stay.  2 took the 10% and 1 pressed and we gave him 20%. 

And guess what, they'd go after everything regardless and press you to live in the defensive.

That said, if someone presses you... have a good/believable answer or risk being dismissed out of hand.

Can you hold yourself accountable, to keep pressing forward when the results you're seeking are not happening right away?

I’ve been watching quite closely for months and you’d be hard pressed to find a decent 4 plex for under $250,000, let alone $150,000 (unless it needed a lot of work).
