I like the idea of getting real, well constructed, pieces of furniture and not just crap off Wayfair and Ikea that will end up breaking easily.

I agree that this mission that they're on to eradicate ALL of STR is ridiculous.

Lawyer and mail sent tomorrow, just in case they decide to try and walk all over us with that "were moving anyway" crap. 

I’d schedule a time for her to get all her crap out of the house on one day .

Either enforce your lease or you will lose control and your property will go to hell.Like @James Wise said, you can’t be in the middle of this crap or you will be a babysitter.

I'm hoping again, you just downplayed how smart you were (or you at least had a good idea that you would be running investment properties), but frankly, if you had no idea what you were doing and you've got crap properties/tenants worth something on sheer luck, I'd be hard-pressed to double-down on that strategy...

Word gets around real fast if a place is selling crap.

It's a new world out there, Ryan.The LLs with really nice rentals are raising their standards.The LLs with crap are lowering them.Good luck.

They want clean deals to get the file off their desk so they can get a bonus.Not have an investor tie up a property for months and then go out of contract because they couldn't find a buyer to close or the one that did want to buy can't.I am not saying you can never do assigning but the vast majority of times if the property is priced right a cash investor will be all over it OR the asset manager will take a much higher offer from a home buyer who wants to live in the home.Even with the home buyer financing the asset manager will go for that sometimes and take the risk if it nets them more.Now there are some real piece of crap properties out there that not many want that banks own where you might be able to structure a deal like this.As far as hard money lenders most that I know want you to have good credit these days.Before they were loaning out on bad credit or no credit when the market was rising.Now they charge much more points and want the good credit so that after rehab the investor can refi into a conventional loan instead of the hard money lender foreclosing on them.Now in the commercial arena private money,hard money,regular loans,joint ventures are put together differently.good luck

It is slow and there is a lot of crap, but from time to time I get one.I often have to take the ones that others don't want and that need a lot of rehab.
