Taking on issues the seller is not willing or able to cope with can score you a better deal.

For higher-end properties in Cincinnati, everyone seems to claim they can handle it, but then there are performance issues. 

The mortgage was also raised due to insurance issues to about $1,950… so I am not making much cash flow, more like a cash trickle.

Ran into a similar issue as you back in 2021 when I was living in San Francisco.

The only issue I've had is a small period where the laundry pods would always be empty at turnover. 

Hi, pre foreclosure in all of its permutations, before the bank sends Notice of Default (NOD) or efter which is state even county dependant but often starts a 4 week clock till the trustee auction are the 2nd most difficult deal scenario and IMHO only experienced investors should bother, the 1st most difficult deal scenario are bidding at the court house steps on lord only knows what is being auctioned off sometimes even 2nd mortgages, you need to do so much home work to attempt to reduce your risk at the court house steps...Pre foreclosure no one talks about these issues, always about the nice sounding stuff like "motivated seller" get a good deal etc etc both are usually not the case.- 95% of folks in pre or post NOD want to stay in their house, keep their house inspite of them 100% will loose the house at the auction. 

Appraisals are always an issue due to a lack of comps.

The positive is you can get them out with 60 day notice so 60 day escrow would allow the unit to be delivered vacant (assuming zero issues terminating the rental)good luck 

It's not a giant burden right now, but with AI and duplication posts, it's becoming much easier to spam overall.I still find the biggest 'issue' on the Forum is what we've already talked about - the failure of most new members to use the search feature before asking the same question that has been asked over and over again.

I've been able to afford my payments so far without much issue.
