I spent about 6k to get rid of the smoke smell including painting, cleaning the vents, cleaning the furniture etc.  

Almost everyone here on BP will tell you that they wish they had started earlier, myself included.4.

Even if you included $100 per month in maintenance/repairs and $100 in property management (I know a PM that will do 7%) you'd still be cashflowing ~$250 per month. 12% CoC return based on 20% down.  

That is an exception though - most of our sports related stays are driven by ESPN all year, including the summer months.

For simplicity sake, let's assume a 40% expense ratio, giving a net operating income (NOI) of $216K.If we were to buy at their asking price of $2.99 million, we'd be looking at a cash-on-cash return of 7.2%, and that's without factoring in capital expenditures or debt service.I'd say this one has a looong way to fall before it's a deal!

Any red flags or important clauses to include in our contract?

There was carpet almost everywhere including the bathrooms.

We get calls all the time from people that claim to be investors wanting to buy one of our properties (including some we sold more than a year ago - shows how accurate some of the pay lists actually are) and when pressed, it is clear they are fishing for deals to wholesale without having buyers lined up. 

When we first connect with every investor, we clearly stress that they should always overestimate their expenses and underestimate their income.We don't include expenses that are variable like vacancy, repairs and capex.We offer a suggestion on what they could be based on the past but we plead with everyone to underestimate their income and overestimate their expenses.Thanks again

You may want to send your tenants frequent letters and note to remind them and include dental floss in your list.It does not take a rocket scientist to replace a sewage ejector pump and any decent (not the idiots) handyman should be able to replace one.
