Will the 100's of thousands to input into the project provide a viable return or a cash out/equity push up refi for it to make sense? 

If your program doesn't work after I pay you thousands I want to kick you in the balls as hard as I can non stop. 

the best wholesalers spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a month on marketing. 

But could save you thousands in tax.

So I just saw this post about Section 8 HUD tenants, and this post stated something along the lines of section 8 tenants being more likely to damage properties because they're section 8 low income tenants, and also something about investors not wanting to put money needed into Section 8 properties because they think they're just going to be ruined by these Section 8 tenants, and as someone who knows the entire process with investors, owners, contractors, tenants, and prospective tenants, this is what I have to say about it:In my experience, Section 8 HUD tenants are actually better custodians of the property because of many factors, but 3 of the main reasons being, there is an annual HUD inspection that is performed on each property, so this gives the owner an extra 'protection vector' against damages, also, the initial placement of a Section 8 HUD tenant requires a passing HUD inspection, therefore there's a record of the property's initial state prior to move in, and additionally, they want to have an easy renewal voucher process annually, and their unit remaining in good condition is an incentive for those reasons, therefore they are LESS likely to damage a property - their future depends on it!

Find 3rd party ways to verify the owner and employment as described. it would be very odd to have both an employer and landlord in two different states thousands of miles away that share an area code with the perspective tenant that is not in the market the home market of the PM or the employer.

But when they arise, they often cost several thousand dollars or more, hence the budgeted holdbacks.

I ended up paying 25K and they hauled out 120 thousand pounds of trash.

So for folks to fork over 40k on a rental house I dont get that. to me its big time FOMO especially in SW FLA were there are literally hundreds of thousands of vacant parcels that can be bought on any day.

I have clients at my W2 who didn't do this and are now paying environmental remediation companies (like the one I work at) hundreds of thousands to clean it up, by order of the EPA, even though the PREVIOUS owner caused the issue.
