I've said this before, but I would contend that we are in a "What can you do that is really hard?"

Since we live in Orlando area, we are looking at a STR in Disney area. 

The Landlord will verify that the rental is empty of all personal belongings and trash and that there is no damage beyond ordinary wear and tear. 

We are going to look at a 5 room apartment building next week for STR and MTR use.

Quote from @Rou Odab: Some of these things would come up on a home inspection, but since we are past that I would do a couple of things.

We have been a quality fencing company for 5 years part-time, and just announced this year we are going full-time with it.

We are seeing a lot of investors have success with this strategy with plans to hold the properties they are rehabbing as rentals for several years before selling.

We are able to find many areas that are steadily in the top 10 in growth nationwide.I would also tel investors like yourself to look at the new construction space. 

We are planning to hold it for 5 years and bought a rate cap to cover the entire hold period. 

If you conclude the leverage is so good that everyone comes out ahead that's fine but if you are only able to originate hard money debt that may be viewed as a red flag by investors who will question your experience and borrowing strength.
