Wasn’t sure if the flat rate would be on the high or low end honestly :) 

When you pull their credit, go through each item and check to see if they continually have high credit card debt, if they have any 30, 60, or 90-day late payments, ensure they don’t have any judgments or collection items, and see if they have any large payments that will hinder their ability to pay rent.

Recently, I've encountered startups and companies offering quick EMD financing at high interest rates (around 3-5% per month).

The fees will be high though. 

I'd like to sell one of my rentals and put the proceeds into stocks instead, but if the tax hit is too high, I'd do a 1031 exchange.  

It is not an issue if you are adding more square feet for your personal preference, but I would not expect an ARV that is as high. 

Keep that money flipping, keep tax deductions high, and keep buying primo real estate and zero focus on the gutter **** in Ohio or what not. 

Most plumbers don't know a lot about sewage ejector pumps because there is not a high percent of them around compared to the millions of properties.

The tenant wants over 13K to cover stay at a hotel (that only has a small fridge), food for the family, moving costs and storage costs which is about 2x the amount the city expects.

Price points were too high, numbers didn't make sense from an investment side (running a negative just to hope and pray the appreciation will be there).
