Is it easy, NO, a pain to do, YES, will it cost you, Yes.

Does the landlord have a ‘pain-point’ that needs to be taken care of soon, or does the landlord have room to work with terms?

Paint has been the biggest pain of make-ready on rentals.

Definitely a pain in the butt option but an option nevertheless.The other route you could go if it needs to be strictly an investment property is to find yourself a capital partner who would fund the purchase and reno and be okay leaving some of their money in the deal for a piece of the equity. 

This was a painful learning lesson for me. 

Other types of claims could include family members seeking damages for pain and suffering, in which case, the landlord must have some significant involvement and influence in how and why the suicide took place. 

, "if there was a way to (insert their pain points and how you can resolve them OR insert their desired outcome), would there be anything holding you back from moving forward?"

@Michael Plaks Can you imagine a scenario where 1031 goes away under a Biden administration?

You have big dog wholesalers that have big marketing budgets blanketing the Houston area daily with post cards, SMS, emails, ringless voicemails, and virtual assistants phone calling and handling administrative duties. 

The seller was so upset about the closing being delayed he wanted to call the whole thing off anyway and has been a huge pain to deal with the whole time- its a FSBO and its been a nightmare from day 1.
