That'll likely get rid of the writing on the wall, smooth out the drywall, and make it more absorbent for paint.

I might just be making this narrative up in my own head, but I feel it would be kind of awkward for the tenant to respect me as a landlord while at the same time having to write rent checks to an entity that makes overt mentions of being funded by said rent checks. 

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

@Saran Mandhadapu congrats on the properties and I hope closing is smooth on your most recent one.

so far I’d just checked as a landlord with Safeco, Mercury, a few Farmers agencies and some other agencies that represent others which all said they won’t cover me, however, one Farmer agency sold me a $900 policy and said I’ll be covered which I later scope into the policy coverage that spelled out it doesn’t cover animals and I’d confirmed this with the Farmers district manager office; one of their policy writer called their underwriter.

The backlash from the tenants and their whole switch over mess wasn't smooth.

I will be doing an inspection but haven't started the loan process yet, my scores are excellent and am hoping that it should be smooth unless as you point out if traditional finance is possible with such as-is properties.

Some of the items they have entered include:Blinds too long and don’t turn smoothly, tub plugged, stove dirty, door bell not working, dishwasher smell, we did get her new dryer, refrigerator drawers cracked along many more.Property management sends someone over and I pay several hundred for each of these.

The real estate agent can work to smooth over the negotiations - ok what things are really important to you that we repair vs give credit for, but if you don’t ask them to engage especially if you feel like they’re working against you like by acting like your requests are unreasonable, then you should ask them to Forward the written requests.
