The scoring is weighted toward the high end, though, so even 650 credit scores are still bad.

I personally put more weight into those posts from people who've been through at least one downturn in the market vs. those who've only been riding the wave of this current run up.  

Maybe the partner/contractor was greedy, did not pull his weight,  still marked up the reno to retail, and many other scenarios.

Are you thinking that my suggestion that BRRRR might work in Columbus carries little weight since we've not successfully completed one?

The total profit was actually 30k higher.Lesson1: do faster and lighter rehabs vs longer bigger projects if you have capital limitations.

Much lighter than actually hauling a bunch of books over there.

@William Robison   thank you for a reality check on the reality of certain tenant demands and what you will and won't do form a professional that is in the trenchs daily. anyone considering buying rentals should have someone like William give them a second opinon other than just listening to who is selling the property to you.. a good PM is worth their weight.

How much weight do you put in these numbers?

Also, a good realtor (yes I did say good, not just any old realtor) is worth their weight in gold.

My PM charges $200 per dog and $100 per cat as non refundable fee along with pet addendum that list out all the pets breed/weight and clauses for damages done by them has to be paid by them or deducted from security deposit at the end of the lease term.
