But if we really wanted to win a certain deal for whatever reason it's a great method. 

They have been very good tenants and they are keeping the house clean and well.  

@Dennis Solari You are going to have to run the numbers on any property you might be interested in.Then you need to look Vrbo and Airbnb and see what properties are renting for and how often.Put all this in a spreadsheet and add in utilities, furnishing, consumables, cleaning, PM (unless doing this yourself), yard maintenance, house maintenance, tax and insurance and see how the numbers shake out.

I have other developers  that build high quality and are very thoughtful and methodical about the type of tenants they put into a retail center.

It would be great to share some creative methods that have been advantageous in the past!

Many people choose to go the cash method route because it is much more simple, but there are drawbacks to using either method. 

We painted all the rooms and cleaned the carpet.

My partner and I are in negotiation for a 6-unit property in NE Ohio, below are details: 4 rented, 2 vacant / average rent $735 (4 rented units $720, 2 vacant $775)Owner pays water, sewer, trash2 br, 1.5 bath, roughly 900 sfGarage with door + extra parking areaRoof in good shape, air and furnace in good shapeRealistic gross all units filled: monthly $4,400 / yearly $53,000We walked through both vacant units, very clean and basic.

Ive been doing a brrr method there and have a local team that helps.

If the property is currently a meth lab, the condition of the prop alone should deter anyone from buying it (unless these meth guys are extremely clean and responsible).
