If accepted, I have my inspector inspect the property and provide me a report on the state of all systems and structural. then I use this report to build my scope of work and know what repairs need to be made. then I type out this list and solicit bids from 2-3 contractors/GCs/ handymen depending on the nature of the rehab.

I accept them and mitigate the risk by (a) screening the animals, (b) having a solid set of rules that are quickly and fairly enforced, (c) regular inspections, especially for cat units, and (d) charging a monthly pet fee.Let's say I have five single-family homes.

I put in an offer in a house after talk to the sellers agent she set the terms, we accepted all the terms them she add that the “seller” would not pay for the buyer commission (My wife is my agent, somehow she found out that).She asked for full price, no inspection, no contingencies?

For whatever reason my  agent seems to think that my offer won’t get accepted cause “most buyer prefer and will chose non VA” Idfk.

Each tenant would have to accept responsibility and be trained.

@Austin LemmaYou do not have any leverage but as others mentioned if you stick to your guns over time they may accept your price.

Basically means  that I will have to get the property to a condition that is acceptable for code enforcement during this period. 

If they are prepared to earn the private fund returns (and tax benefits) they need to accept the lock up period is indeterminate.

I did get a decent deal but her rental rate and the sale price are mutually exclusive.

I had the same situation her ESA letter was bogus but i still accepted it.
