It's just an idea at worst, do what makes you happy :)

My worst nightmare applicant in the last few months was a woman who  made $65K/year in a job with a utility company and you would have described her like your #2 tenant above. 

With nothing that is depending on you, what's the worst that could happen.

Our STR uses a PM so it does not take more time than our LTRs but I do agree that it is not an apple to apple comparison which is why I also included our worst cash flow RE which is an LTR and I project the cash flow at just below $200/unit month (post rehab, my initial projections had cash flow projected at neutral before the value add).  

She's my "secret weapon", jumping in on the worst parts of the job, without prompting, and keeps slogging away. 

Hi there.This is my first post and I haven't found a search function though I'm pretty sure that this question might have been answered before. I am from Sweden, Europe and I'm beginning my journey towards a real esta...

Absolute worst case scenario is the seller goes wild and tries to sue him for non performance.

Even in the worst neighborhoods that price range may be too low.

Worst case, call the utility company and report the perceived danger.

Most of the time, this is a doable scenario and at worst we require first, last, security to give us some extra peace of mind with that applicant.
