I haven’t spoken with the agent yet, but there are claims on the listing that there are long term tenants in place with 0% vacancies.

If you keep the deposit especially if you get it rented out immediately than you are profiting from negligence (not cool and not something I would want to go to court over) you can’t even keep more than the cost of their vacancy and damages in California meaning if it’s re-rented in two weeks you can’t claim more than two weeks of rent as that’s the total of the damages, no double dipping.

If there's a remaining balance, and it remains unpaid, it will likely get filed in small claims court and sold to collections when it's not collected. 

But I cannot locate the sewer pipe at the rod in order to file a damage claim against the electrician. 

We are looking to make a profit on this property and at the very least break even.We did sign up on airdna and it claims to see pretty good revenue even at the 50th percentile, but this site seems to have a lot of hand wavy information.

I know where I want to buy the house the ideal location, and also the next area if the ideal doesn’t work out.I have also decided that I do want this to be a long-term rental for students in the college area and even for those in the medical center area.

., they can be specialized for medical professionals, business travelers, large groups, etc.)

The Sellers and Seller's agent is claiming that none of these were damages from them or that they are pre-existing. 

My issue is that my partner - a 4th year medical student - will be graduating next spring, and we could end up anywhere across the country based on how her residency interviews go.

I haven’t spoken with the agent yet, but there are claims on the listing that the property sits at a 0% vacancy rate.
