If you have one that is dated no more than 60 days they should accept it.

I am struggling to see if it is a bad deal or if we need to accept lower Cash on Cash returns when we invest all-cash deals...

For me it's all about having a great cleaning person/crew.Homeaway and Airbnb make it easy to keep an up to date calendar, accept payments, refund security deposits.Then nice to have are automated locks (I still use a lockbox), security cameras, wifi thermostats.You need great pictures and descriptions, you need to be responsive to inquiries and issues.You need a great location so that you have demand at your property.I think this is the Cliff Notes version.Take up Lucas Carl on the phone call.

On the other side, as demand decreases, home values have to be dropped by the owner setting/accepting a lower offer. 

If it gets accepted, I'll be trading that one as fast as possible into something that generates cash flow by the time we close.  

This isn't acceptable at all.

That way I can stress test the property for worst case and see what it looks like. if I am just open to whatever rate is at that time it could be 7 or 8% rate etc.

If acceptable to the owners Bank/Mortgage company they may provide a cheaper policy in this situation.

@Ashley DavisGongrats on your deal...I would say you figured out the numbers so well...dont worry about the rehab...going with 50k budget is over already, If I were you I would the same as you did ... wouldnt worry about the numbers at all.I would recommend to take an experienced investor with you when you knock on the door...try your best to get them sign a document for cash for keys along with short term lease stating the date the move out considering to include in the lease that no repairs would be done by you and they accept it in as is condition...I would definitly consult an attorney to write it up for you...try to be nice but firm with the occupant dont ever get emotional when taking to them.Good Luck

., there's no way to get the deal to work out as a rental or a flip without a huge price concession -- something they're not likely to accept.
