If the seller was not aware and found out that you are selling the house to someone else, they might be playing a game with you.

It’s like playing poker.....no way to know until you do it.

Or use for a Fair Housing complaint. 

If he's truly motivated and it needs work, I would see what the repair/replacement cost would be, work my cash flow numbers and then offer a fair price. 

Know and abide by landlord tenant law, fair housing law, non-discrimination law, and local laws for your jurisdiction.Many first time renters turn out to be terrific tenants, so don't let that deter you.

My own two cents: while the issues noted by your inspector are fairly minor, this being deemed a "rental ready house" by USREEB is a bit of a red flag to me. 

I tried to do some research about the company, but because their fairly new, I have yet to come across much reviews.Has anyone had any experiences with reiwholsalerpros.com or ever tried it?

In all fairness I have listened to every episode of the podcast, many of them multiple times (even the boring ones).

That is about the going rate - the unit is small so $800 is fair.

When a seller is motivated to sell he will and it’s only fair to get what he feels is the best deal.
