Way too many red flags that "excitement" won't fix. 

I am a Real Estate Agent and Investment Property Coach with Red 1 Realty here in Columbus.  

A bright red grape juice stain on white or beige carpet is damage beyond normal wear and tear.As far as the garbage and the dumpster, if there is trash removal included in your rent, it probably doesn't include furniture or excessive amounts of large pieces of garbage. 

Is this worth to invest to STR in Red River gorge.

I had the misfortune of making an attempt, and I wish I would have heeded the red flags.

You and your husband were very smart to ask Open Spaces good questions and not ignore the red flags that surfaced through the process. 

One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far here are the psychological red flags and possible pitfalls involved in the process of moving out of and then turning your old home into a rental property.

You probably won't get caught are famous last words for many people with red cards on their properties before listing it, closing it to flip and sell, or to turn into rentals.

In fact, the only time we ever had an animal do more damage than the deposit was on a set of tenants that had red flags but we accepted them anyway against our better judgement.

Too many red flags?
