If you encounter a combative tenant or property in bad condition, it may be necessary to wait for showings until the current tenant moves out.

Worst case scenario is I have to long-term rent (will still cashflow, just not as much).My question to you guys: Do you have any coping mechanisms for combatting doubt?

It’s gotten a little angry and combative from there.I agree good for her.

You are putting yourself at risk especially with a combative tenant.

If they have released their earnest money to you their deposit has gone hard, then why bother being combative? 

Now, how do we combat inflation?

One way to combat that and strengthen your offer will be to write into your offer that you (the buyer) are willing to fix any deficiencies with the home that are flagged by the VA appraiser. 

Hey everyone,Just wanted to see if anyone has had experience with paying cash for a home to combat the competitiveness in today's market then shortly after re-financing to pull out cash to do the same on another property.My thoughts are that this could be a good way to make an offer stand out, be at or near the top of the list of offers, and win deals.A few items for clarity:I imagine under the refi terms, I would only be able to pull back 75%-80%, thus resulting in the same net results as a down payment of that amount, correct?

One of the ways we "combat" it is by leveling the playing field with the hotels by paying a Hotel Tax (9% of our gross revenue).

I have a psychiatric service dog for combat related PTSD and I'm also super athletic, because, you know, exercise makes life better when you're struggling mentally.
