Otherwise, I would be shooting in the dark.

Smoking? 

One of the more frustrating things in psychology is what I call the Dark Side of Psychology.

So getting 10 year fixed debt and having 10 to 15 years on the lease for primary lease term before options they can model out returns for next decade waiting for next upcycle.Now remember do not focus on cap rate so much because it is THEORETICAL meaning with a weak tenant or paying way overmarket rent the tenant could go dark.

But as you said, throwing more money into chasing smoke is not worth the effort. 

We are trying to get them to leave because of the smoking. 

I think you need to find a reason to get into the house every few months just to monitor the situation… Even if it’s just to “check the smoke detectors” or something like that....good luck! 

@Mark S. that was the second place I looked but I don’t want white they stain too easily we find the dark colors last longer.

By the time the smoke clears, and the bidding war ends, the property isn't a deal anymore. 

Don't let wife go for walks when it's dark.
