I'm in discussions with a distressed house, (with all the sadness and issues that a distressed house has) and the owner just wants it gone at a "fair price".

Sadly there doesn't exist a way to target motivated sellers.

@Marcus Robinson Sadly this is not uncommon.

It will be a sad day when you get caught up on the podcasts

Sad story but I can't imagine any investor being interested in financing a deal for them.

Sadly, something has come up and I’ll no longer be able to attend.

To me that is very sad and I think it is a huge deal and I wish more people were informed and talked about it. 

We use it to verify the pay stated on their pay stubs (as @Nathan Miller noted, fraudulent pay stubs are sadly very much a thing).

The equity in those doesn't mean much unless it's in your pocket OR if the market rents are slated to continue to increase; which sadly for the bigger part of 2023 rents have been flat or decreasing. 

I may be able to get the Florida home to 1500/mo or so if I rent it as an Airbnb (currently mo to mo $3,300, has a fenced pool, 7 min from the beach), and I’m emotionally tied to the Florida home as I bought the home for my mother who sadly passed away in it from cancer last year.
