Having no other prospective tenants and being far too optimistic about the possible ways this could end, I obliged to let them move in before paying.On move-in day, I had arranged for the door to be unlocked and the keys to be waiting for them on the counter.

She is not living at the property and left the doors unlocked but no key was left.

Reason I am interested is the ability to unlock $200K in equity in less than a year with a strong construction / management team, and a very high demand rental market.

If they stand by their work and there is a problem with materials they provided or work they performed they fix it at no charge ,  but to pay a property manager to unlock the door , No.

We're researching and learning for a few weeks and only the right opportunities will unlock the wallet!

You can unlock a lot of value with development experience that the seller doesn't have. 

Unlock equity and get cash out of your existing rental property.

I've unlocked some more specifics (I'll round off numbers):Principle: 103kEstimate out of pocket to bring current (HOA + Arrears) and attorney and repairs/flooring: 25kProperty value in this area - easily worth 150K with comps, but could be as high as 165K+Rental cashflow conservatively at $210Numbers on flip seem to put at a loss with realtor fees, closing fees again and holding costs for a few months.It doesn't make sense to me - all the ways I've flipped and evaluated numbers and what it would take for me to make this happen vs. the return and risk (although, I have the pieces lined up to move forward today if I'm ready to say "go").Appreciate your input.

(as long as you show Authenticity, Unlock potential and Deliver Results you are in) ( those are the values) and believe me they will interview u physiologically with the HR department. cos the most important thing for the CEO is Culture) 

When other agents show a property, they lock doors requested to leave unlocked, they leave windows open, they don't remove shoes when asked, leave lights on, etc.
