I’ve had other random issues come up on holidays or weekends late at night with guests.

The issue is that it is considered commercial and most banks now will not lend on STR.Can someone point me in the right direction of who I should contact or where I should explore?

I think he might have personal issues going on and does not have the money to continue working on my job whilst he is probably working on another job.

The issue I am not a fan of seller financing is the following:11.

-Lastly, any areas I should avoid that have had flooding issues in the past? 

I'm only working on 2 or 3 at a time these days, and I'm basically a concierge helping these people with title work that they weren't willing to face, and I'm helping them figure out issues on houses they were going to abandon practically. 

Only issue with this is that if owner needs money, you'll likely have to come up with the difference between the loan balance and the value of the home as a down payment. 

. - so I guess I need to estimate what those would be - he is in his 70s and has uncles and aunts that lived until late 90s and one until 102 when no one did) and a comfortable retirement (he is extremely frugal so that's not an issue).

They will place them with minimal screening and they cause lots of maintenance issues and do not pay rent in time.

I think you need at least $10,000 in reserves, or bare minimum at least enough to cover a month and a half of rent, utilities, and any unforeseen maintenance issues per property.
