I had a tenant just move out after a 12 month lease and, while the carpets (in bedrooms) were not brand new and had a couple of small stains (I took detailed photographs), they are now horribly stained and completely unusable.  

Less buildings to worry about and less tenants to manage seemed appealing.

It's appealing because it is less than 100k, but do you see a good return on these over time?

The unit's appeal will determine the type of tenant willing to rent

I ran the numbers through fix and flip and it looks appealing to me.

My partner's lawyer put in a motion to appeal it.

If you can answer those three and the deal still seems appealing then you should seriously consider moving forward. 

Random question: I am a published real estate photographer and have shot quite a few luxury homes ranging all the way north of 7-8 Million.

I close on an older 1950 small 800 sf house Monday and am planning on remodeling so I can market it to a different class of renter then was currently there. Am curious what idea y’all would suggest to get the most ban...

I'm essentially going to rent (pay for) 2-5 bedroom units from local landlords at full price, and then sublease those rooms out at a markup (I wouldn't charge tenants broker fees and I'd give them flexible leases to justify the markup, among other things).To the landlords, it would essentially be guaranteed rent from a trusted company, along with free tenant screening and property management (i'm trying to make it as appealing as possible to landlords, as you guys are generally hard to sway).
