At over 2400 sqft and a beautiful wrap around deck my investor planned to fully gut this property and get top dollar.

It has a structure attached to the garage that used to be a house but is gutted mostly and unlivable, might be condemned.

Based on the age of the surrounding facilities and lack of new, updated options, coupled with increased residential development projects in the area, my gut tells me it is a great location but don’t want to assume that if I really should be basing off of TOTAL nsrf being below or at 7. 

And that's fine.....if you have money to burn.Disclosure: I have no idea about the realities of STRs in this area, but I trust my gut....I only have my current cabin as a guide and it’s still doing fairly well.  

Just trust your instincts on this stuff...which is why you went here to check. 

Is there a reason they are willing to be so accommodating to get this property, is everyone turning them down.Can the concession be a combo of pulling payments forward and paying higher rent, like pet rent.I would say stick to your gut and your criteria, but consider the gray areas to see if any criteria or reactions need adjustment.

My investor bought it for 65k with the intent to gut the house and sell as a nice fully rehabbed 3 bed.

People who are waiting for the market to "crash" generally don't have the guts to invest in a crashing market.

Landlord tenant law has its own version of ambulance chasers that would love nothing more than to make a few bucks off of a landlord that tried to read further into a tenants life than just criminal history, verifiable income, credit score, and rental history.Logically, we would all like to be able to make decisions based on personality differences, family size, possible income drops, or whatever gut feeling we have.

It sounds as if you are pushing to justify a decision when you already know in your gut that he's not the right fit.
