$380/month might be a horrible deal.

It's not a horrible house and has potential, but seems to need some fixes.

I haven't bought anything in about a year because I can't find those deals right now,,the cheaper houses can still cash flow, and I'm considering buying a couple and seeing what they are like (ARV around $60k),,I found a deal recently on a house in an area I love that should have an ARV of about $160k,,but even at a good deal for today, it was a horrible investment, so I had to leave it alone.

I'm wondering if your concern is really about exterior finish but rather the horrible and depressing construction quality and lack of architectural distinctiveness in loads of CA houses.

My tubs looked horrible.

California, for example, is horrible compared to Texas, where the standard to hold a property owner liable for a contractor's negligence is exceptionally difficult.

Priscilla Z, lawyers advantage or island title have horrible settlement costs.

Unemployed and not bad, but horrible credit:I'm sorry, but you do not meet the rental criteria of the owner.

Part of me sees leaving the scene if there's an injury as a horrible thing to do as a human-- while part of me wonders if they had some personal crisis or hit a parked car and planned on contacting the person later to pay for damages.

Most of the agencies have horrible yelp reviews and worse reputations; they are known for giving landlords BS background checks and not being good partners.
