It's acceptable as an area though the flips I saw weren't great quality.  

This.Also, if you were the tier 1 worker bee at a relocation company who wants to get a family housed, happy and as quickly as possible, would you accept the word of a guy who sells a course to new-to-MTR investors that "here is Eli; please send him all of your business.

It is also the seller's fault for accepting it, they full well knew this was not right.If you were to file for eviction for non-payment of rent, you'd probably win.

Maybe one of your lowball offers gets accepted.  

Some hosts also accept bank transfers, but you’ll want to ensure payments clear well in advance of their stay.

I think there is even a contingency in place for those whom submit deals that DO NOT get accepted for 3 months in a row.

Even still, it could be said that I've still lost money due to my time on the tools instead of prospecting as a real estate agent (the cost of lost opportunity).If you can truly do 80%-90% of the work yourself (at acceptable quality levels) and you aren't sacrificing your time where you can get better returns for your efforts, then yes, it can work even up here in Canada.

Still can be very beneficial for a new investor but personally I think not as good as a service as they had with their exclusive listings where they had inspections already done, rent rolls available, and you can complete the entire offer/acceptance via their platform rather than being handed off to an agent. 

Quote from @Gary Campanaro: I wouldn't consider it unless it were agreed to up front.Cancellations are part of her business, and she needs to accept that.

Also, I’m pretty new to this but I’m assuming you’d have to have an LLC in place to accept hard money or money from private lenders?
