Throwing good money after bad to delay a negative report.  

Quote from @Rafael Valdor: I hear horror stories about renters all the time, but that doesn't mean all renters are bad.

He's the guy who shared my interested and connected us, he wouldn't recommend him as a seller if he had bad experiences with his other properties.I did ask about other properties and he shared about a duplex for $200k, but I wouldn't be able to afford the down payment needed.He acknowledged the rent is low compared to the market and never mentioned that it's his "best" property.1) Agree, but if he's been a good tenant is that necessarily a problem?

Not investing is better than a bad investment.Good luck

Wholesaling is risky, because there are a ton of bad players out there, and so most brokerages don't even allow it because there is so much risk, and the principle broker is risking their livelyhood. 

The tenant can make up tons of unfounded accusations and all together it just paints a bad picture.

Too bad we'll never know...

Stainless steel appliances, cleaning service every other week and I am johnny on the spot with repairs.As a result my vacancies are not that bad even with a model designed to be somewhat transitory. 

I'd say everything else is the consequence of the 2 points above - the weather and the state of economic affairs influences everything else, including safety, infrastructure, the condition of housing stock, etc.

So along comes Mr Sub2, singing how he will waive his hand and make the bad go away.
