Some aren't motivated.Some need more rehab than an HGTV fan can do.Others just need the wake up call that your offer will provide.

Sounds like you aren't much of a noob

I've read that as long as you aren't sanding on it or scraping it then it isn't too big of a deal.

Once you start managing more residents, but aren't quite ready to jump into a full on property management company, what do you suggest for a great maintenance request system?  

Most agents aren't because they are rare compared to other types of financing.  

I mean seriously....aren't you already spending enough on the rehab that adding more lost rent just erodes your bottom line that much further?

There aren't many Lonnie dealers around here who will actually move homes.

Set aside your frustration that things aren't going as smoothly as you would like, figure out the process, and follow it carefully.Someone may well redeem at the last minute.  

I've been hanging around bigger pockets for a few months now and have been doing a lot of research on my own and everything I've come across points to the fact that if the property is owner-occupied and 4 units or less, then the mortgage requirements aren't necessarily any different then a single family, am I missing something here, or is the agent misinformed? 

Either way, you're taking out a loan aren't you.
