They can be a bit of a pain since your have to have a licensed GC on the rehab and have to deal with some other process/compliance stuff, but they will be a conventional mortgage that can fund both the purchase and the rehab all at once (very similar to an FHA 203k).

I recently spoke to a property management firm that told me their clients don't experience any pain with financials or taxes Jan - April. 

@Andrew SteffensYou're very welcome.Yes, the financing conditions are often better in the US but that advantage has all but disappeared with the new normal level of US interest rates.

It doesn't matter how many brokers and REA feel pained and whine and slander guys who don't have a license yet able to make money off their sweat. 

Pain is a great teacher.  

Engage Interested Parties: Follow up with interested parties and applicants who have disappeared.

I left out the most important thing - NEVER overpay a deposit for work not yet completed, that money and person/s sometimes have a way of disappearing in certain situations like that. 

Just last month, 10k POOF gone, one of my guys disappeared.

Are they a pain to service compared to standard machines?

I can see where a lot of supply would temporarily disappear if they rent instead of sell ... still a motivated seller, so those units are likely to hit the market in the future.
