River, I would love to dive deeper if you ever have the chance.

Let the agent know that while you’re interested, the property’s condition and local comps don’t justify the asking price.Taking a warm, conversational approach can make negotiations smoother and improve your chances of getting the deal.

The program is neither good nor bad, there's just different pros & cons compared to cash paying tenants.Have offered to schedule a call with you numerous times to try and assist you, but you seem to prefer posting & posting & posting - which will take so much longer:(What are the chances you'll actually invest someday, given how long it's taking you to do basic research?

If they’re late a third time, you have a strong case for eviction for habitual non-payment—without risking the tenant showing up at the 11th hour with the money.For your specific circumstances, with only a partial month behind, I would guess there is a decent chance they can come even on rent and it would be a waste of your time.

Chances are it will never get keypunched.  

My strategy would then be to lease at least two of the renovated units, increasing occupancy to 90%, which could improve the chances of securing favorable terms for refinancing.I haven't pitched it to the seller yet.

I have not heard of anyone doing them in years so the chances of finding it would be slim to none.

Business owners won't want to get tied up in litigation and if there is a good chance they will lose, it is easier to simply follow the contract.How would that work with a lower-end tenant? 

However, chances of making a mistake or overlooking an opportunity to save are higher when it comes to rentals.The dilemma is whether it's worth paying a professional in this case.
