They are probably smart enough to wait until the court date, then they'll scurry off 1-2 days prior and move to the next victim.I manage 400 rentals and this doesn't happen to me because I don't listen to excuses or play games.

I’m working with my father on managing his RE portfolio.We have one multi family property that is fully paid off and generates roughly $200k in NOI/Cash Flow.

For example, you could find deals that have good long-term potential and buy enough money down so they throw off a bit of cashflow, but not so much equity that it limits your ability to scale.

Note: would be using 50k to pay off my debt at closing.Plan a: Buy into a 1.2m retirement home style 18 unit property (18 doors, 5 bathrooms, commercial kitchen, etc) with $200k. 

First off, if they can justify removing the carpet and replacing it, they would need to bill you a prorated amount based on age.

I can’t speak much about other markets, but as someone who started off in Columbus, I would say, the Ohio market in general is a very beginner friendly state to get started with your real estate journey.

Negotiated 20k off the top without contingencies as already walked it and report didn’t show anything I didn’t already saw.

Did the city take samples and send them off to a lab?

You can't find 2% anywhere on long term rent but to get that in CA with CA appreciation is massive.I have not heard of someone completing a hands off garage conversion STR for as low as $80k in at least 5 years.  

Underwriting is primarily based off of the property not the borrower.
