It wasn't super-smooth, but we ended up closing in May with one week of rent from the buyers.My wife and I decided to move into our rental on 30A especially since there was a ban on short-term rentals until the end of May.

Let lease violations slide, and reminded tenants that the rent is past due every.single.month. 

The painter said "Since this home has many areas of large peeling paint the surface after primer and paint will not be smoothed as before will have texture."

I've heard it can go a long way by being polite to them; addressing them as Mr or Mrs; & finding common interests...all salesmanship.I also know someone who has better luck when his wife meets the inspectors.Well, I got a hot wife, who actually knows a bit about rehabbing (has a degree in interior design & worked for a granite wholesaler) & am contemplating her meeting the fat slobs chomping on a cigar.Has anyone had any success in inspectors letting things slide using this method?

So if you don't see them taking their profit and moving out, then there is limited potential and we could even see a market slide...If they do leave or are placed somewhere , these areas could quadruple again in 5 years. 

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.

I would like something that works smoothly and is a bit more user friendly for those of us using multiple LLCs' and bank accounts etc.

From Jonathan's post it seems like it was a smooth process - would love to hear about any other experiences anyone has had when implementing this strategy.
