No sense putting new carpet down that will get trashed, and replacing with new hardwood treads is very expensive (worth it for a flip, not a rental).

Pets with a pet fee and/or an additional security deposit for pet could make a lot of sense.7.

Yeah not sure how many deals are being had at the sheriff sale over in Lake County, but would love to hear from someone who works these things to get a sense of what it's like over there. 

That makes perfect sense, but the problem we’re having here in South Florida is our multifamily are crazy expensive.

If a deal makes sense, they can write it as they are the judge, jury, and executioner.

The numbers on this one don’t make sense as a rental.

Does it make sense to utilize this approach and send out mailing campaigns for just 1 property?

If the demand is there and the numbers work, it can actually make sense. 

Thanks for the advice.Still didn't open yet a US account because I'm investing with a partner (also lives abroad), and after consulting with a lawyer and CPA it makes sense that my partner and I form an LLC for the property, which means the account I open won't be under my name personally (but we will open an account in the States).I'm not sure how much I like the idea of moving money through a British bank, doesn't it raise costs adding another mediator in the process?

If you are serious and have the opportunities please PM me, I’m open to Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas if deals make sense.
