When you first approach the homeowners about helping them out of their property, you'll want to let them know that you aren't going to save their mortgage you're just trying to give them a clean escape from having that defaulted mortgage on their credit.

Building a compset and diving into the details about the competition, cleaning fees, length of stay, and really, seeing who is out ther doing STR versus MTR etc. 

This will just turn into a ventfest with everyone complaining about how they can’t find good cleaners, Handymen, Plumbers, roofers, lawncare, snow plow, electricians, etc etc etc.And everyone complaining how they had to fire their last cleaners because cleaning crew members got in a huge fight in the front yard and started throwing things at each other…And how they had to fire the cleaners before that because they showed up drunk…And how they had to fire the cleaners before that because they never even showed up…

I plan on taking some introductory classes for plumbing + electrical + carpentry + ???

Electric baseboard is expensive and takes a while to warm up so on and off doesn't work.

Utilities altogether is about $250 a month, internet is $90 a month for the 1T fiber (we want fast internet for 6 people), 5% vacancy, Lawn care $120 a month, Pest control $30 a month, and we do bi-weekly cleaning of the common area at $200 a month.

Signs of this are poor lease quality, maybe M2M tenants, high expenses (unnecessary things like high trash bills, internet, cleaning, security).
