Have a 680-720 credit score .

@Henry Clark in step 1, what is the numerator of the ratio?

This is perfectly fine if you are going to be living there a long time, but I see people who use a home as a stepping stool home to a larger home in future and make it very customized to their liking but then when try and sell it, it does not appeal to the masses.

I would have to assume that if they've had it that long, they could absolutely have some really nice cash flow going.

Though, my main goal is to be break-even or close to it in cash flow once a property manager steps in to take over. 

Work with someone who keeps you informed every step of the way.10.

Right of the get go that tells me many other people have looked at it and did not offer the asking price. 

If it is last rental rate charged, then you may have to get creative to accomplish what you want to while still working within the law.Here's an idea to explore.....If it is a 10% increase over the last rental rate you charged, consider using a step pricing lease if allowed by your state. 

I am currently working on my first BRRRR and while walking through the rehab I accidentally stepped in paint then onto my hard wood floors. 

Have you ever done this or been involved in this?
