I am also doing a test on vacation rentals. 

Or after your offer was accepted?

Or should I just make offers, get them accepted, and then wait to have an inspection done during due diligence? 

You can't make up lost time, and if the property is sitting too long on the market, it will be overtaken by newer listings, and diminish the amount of showings yours get.Possibly accept the lower rent for a month or two, and have the rent increase to your original price (put that in the lease) to get the unit occupied and cash-flowing again. 

I inspected the property made a low offer and they accepted , and that's how I scored 2 properties in 1 month.This depleted my cash which I was going to use for the sheriff sale property as it will need at least $10,000 worth of work but I will renovate it slowly and rent out the other asap.

Their credit check revealed a low credit score which I will accept with double the security deposit.

Two of the payment methods that cozy accepts are indeed some of the riskiest forms of payment that an investor can receive.

I have a very finicky townhouse tenant who texted me last night with a demand for a black mold test, indicating that her husband was sick in the ER.

I have yet to find long-lasting tile paint that looked acceptable over the long haul and didn't need to be professionally applied.Plus that, the OP's got that pink bathtub to deal with.

It looks great on paper even with the expenses, but I don't know when it will be acceptable.
