To prevent that from occurring, it has been suggested that maybe we Realtor/Investors should have the sellers sign something that states that they do indeed know that we are going to flip this thing for a profit.

But, don't let you're fear prevent you from learning about other profitable parts of the business.

Make sure you have a preventative maintenance fund- roofs don't last forever!

If a neighbor used your house as an excuse to use mismatched colors, then the HOA's logic would dictate that other neighbors will too - they just want to prevent a trend in the neighborhood so that everyone doesn't start putting mismatched doors on their homes. 

Forced air heat is by far the best to have in a rainy locale like the Pacific Northwest, as it helps prevent mold and moisture problems.

Honestly that fear, the one that prevents us from getting cocky is what helps us stay profitable.

I'm not sure seeing the property would have prevented a bad tenant though, that may be more on the PM or just bad luck. 

It's something I've never done so it's probably the hesitation in me that's preventing me from doing it.
