Is your unit so difficult to rent that you are willing to take the risk or are you just desperate and willing to gamble on a very long shot.My advice is keep looking.

@John Bastidas I’ve dealt with these, but typically the county/city won’t reduce the fines (to usually less than 10%) until After the violations are corrected....which makes it somewhat of a gamble for the buyer.IF they can get the fines reduced and paid off, and the lien removed, prior to your closing....no problem.

., It's a team sport AND if you're just getting started (you stated "enter") you want a team that consist of good operators that have experience.    

They way I see it, this is no different than you gambling 1,200/mo in Vegas. 

Your vision is very similar to my vision, execpt I‘d like to own in adventure sport paradises.

my agent usually does a 200$ home depot or lowes gift card based on whats closer as well as special gift. example- custom welcome mat or a front door placard with clients last name on it. if its a repeat client or customer or partner it would have to be more personal such as idk maybe local sports team tickets or shows doesn't need to be crazy but they wont forget you ever. 

It is very expensive, long term gain is a complete gamble. 

The time and energy that goes into r/e investing makes it difficult for at least me to go gambling.
