Don't be afraid to schmooze them.  

The unit has been nicely rehabbed by the seller and I'm afraid the disconnect might be caused by the over-the -top rehab.

I've analysed countless properties and was afraid of never actually pulling the trigger on my first deal so I started making offers on the best SFHs I could find in my area and now have a house under contract.I'm coming to the forums today to see what you think of my first deal and if I'm crazy for starting to have second thoughts and feeling like I should back out.  3 bed, 2 bath 1156 sq/ft for $67,50020% down on a 30yr loan at 5% = $290/monthproperty taxes - $1700/yrassuming insurance is $1300/yr$4500 on repairsMonthly rent could be around $850I appreciate any advice.Thanks!

I'm a high character guy and come from a blue collar upbringing; I'm not afraid of work.  

Don't be afraid to offer a lowball price on a house that has been sitting not the market for a long time.

Don't be afraid to speak with several brokers.

I want to understand it more, I'm not afraid of learning about the legal side of it, I need to find someone that has experience with it. 

The other option deal I think I can get sold but My phone is starting to ring from new marketing that just hit and I'm afraid I can't get some of these deals sold quick enough.

I can understand many reasons why people may want to limit or eliminate pets - smells, afraid of dogs, reptiles, whatever - but I have bought plenty of rentals and the majority of damage in these properties are done by wayward people - holes in drywall/doors, broken kitchen cabinet doors, filthy appliances, etc. 

I'm afraid you have the wrong impression based on the incorrect verbiage I used.Thanks everyone for your responses!
