If they did, I'm willing to take that risk because I'm confident in my ability to argue my position, my local judge is pretty fair and reasonable, and I can eat the cost if I lose.Your mileage may vary.

Higher rates but it seems like you'll be able to pay it off fairly quickly with the rents.

Otherwise, it would be fairly easy to claim on pretty much any trip.

I wouldn't be concerned about "double appliances" to be honest, most will come with appliances and if something breaks down, you can always find fairly good condition used ones on places like craigslist inexpensively, and I make sure in my lease to state that things like washer/dryer/refrigerator are tenants responsibility to have repaired.

Tire kickers with no skin in yet bothering residents by viewing apts or stores/offices is annoying and detrimental to our business. 

@Robbie Pollock Jr If you don’t like fixers, you can look into condos, which most are fairly new and cheaper in price than SFH.

I challenged that, pointing out that you could flip in a hot market, but the prices will likely out pace the fair market rents in the area.

Be fair, but firm.

Is that Cap rate reflective of where the market actually is (aka is it priced fairly).It's important in this market to know what you will be getting into when you take over the property and that you will be cash flowing from day 1.Best!

Condo fees on this could be fairly high.
