Yeah, once in a blue moon I have to refund a guest for a night, but again - that's a couple hundred bucks compared to the thousands I'd shell out to a PM.

If you're comfortable with a couple hundred dollars in expenses to begin building wealth, go for it!

@Brandon Turner often says you’ll find one deal that works for every hundred you analyze.

I have sent a couple hundred letters ( precision targeted for seniors ready to retire).

You could offer then a couple of hundred dollars to get them to move-do NOT pay it until they are out and you inspect the property.

@Anthony Mcnair I don't think this sounds like a deal at all because he doesn't want just enough to pay off his mortgage he wants 50k and to leave you with the mortgage so a hundred K Plus 45k in repairs on a house worth 160k is not a deal at all.

(I’m at 2.5 years without a vacancy and 4.8 average stay today with no leases ending before March of next year.) low to no HOA fees and I would say more pride in their “home”When a condo or fourplex renter finds out for a “few hundred more” they can have a yard, a garage, their own laundry, twice as many beds and no shared walls they move in to a rental home.   

As in several hundred thousand under.

There are hundreds of them!

I estimate hundreds of people had been inside the property between all the sales attempts.
