Any landlord that offers this should have their head examined! 

I'm just going to offer my opinion on Arbitrage in general.

Build savings through side hustles like flipping cars or offering handyman services.

Why not use the higher end of the estimate and once you are serious about putting in an offer contact your broker then?

The key is to offer something different to the other homes, and be an attentive host, to get good reviews to boost OTA (Airbnb/vrbo) rankings. 

Id keep looking if it was not an approved short sale ( even an approved short sale takes a very very long time and theres no guarantee that you will even close on the house after months of waiting). q1)There are plenty of non traditional lenders that could offer you construction financing if the numbers make sense but it will cost you with points and a higher rate.

Typically, the investors I work with purchase properties in their personal names and then quit-claim the title into their LLC after the deed has been recorded.Markets like OKC, Memphis, and Little Rock offer some excellent, affordable growth opportunities, and I’d be happy to chat with you to explore these options further.

If you really want to get rid of them, sweeten the pot by offering to return their deposit after you verify the unit is empty with no damages. 

Preforeclosure, Pre-Probate, tax liens are  OK -- however most seasoned and newbie investors are calling these leads as well and making offers.   

Can you guys please offer me some expert guidance when it comes to evaluating finished basement square footage in my comp analysis in North Carolina?
