Here's some fat, go trim it.If you are working with a wholesale mortgage broker that 'defaults' to starting with true par pricing, there's nothing to negotiate.

One of my personal faves: run a Craigslist ad "we recycle old non working appliances and TV's.

I m planing on investing out of state rental properties ,buy hold long term is my goal. fat cash flow is my goal.I much appreciate your input with my questions. 

@Aidan Mulligan In addition to pit bulls because they might be dangerous, I ban short people because they sometimes fail to clean the tops of the cupboards, tall people because they sometimes don’t notice the dirty floors, fat people because they can be hard on the carpets, and skinny people because, well, I’ve put on a few pounds lately and I just don’t want that kind of thing around me.Kevin (previous owner of two Rottweiler rescues, current owner of rott/pit mix rescue).

@Eric LawsonYou have to buy right with enough fat in the deal to cover purchase,  rehab, closing cost and of course profit.

They can play the withholding rent game, or even possibly hiring their own contractor and then giving me a big fat bill, even though the asbestos situation is iffy at best.Not too long ago, the tenant wife told me they were involved in a lawsuit with a las vegas hotel over legionella, Legionnaires' disease, so I decided it's not worth dealing with the wife's complaints and drag this out.

Not a lot of fat to trim.
