It is a creative way to get around the deposit issue if you are renting to someone that is a little suspect.

I suspect water is penetrating the block and we need to get the house fired out before we try to repair interior walls but I’m still concerned that drywall mud isn’t the solution.

I suspect most are years from their next acquisition.  

I'm awaiting word on the updated numbers, but I suspect there are actually fewer than 22 as of today. 

I recognize some of this is good screening of tenants that have decent credit score to damage, some of it is the housing shortage in this market and that there is no need to ever rent to anyone that has ever been evicted, and some if it is luck.I suspect if you do not accept their offer and explain the consequences of an eviction that a very large percentage of the time an eviction is unnecessary and the tenants will voluntary vacate. 

To each is own and every market I suspect will be different.  

I do suspect the current owner was expecting to invest in trailer upgrades to permit renting (which he did). 

I suspect some one will sue Ohio for interference.

I suspect that some landlords see everything in their house, short of catastrophically damaged, as "never needing replaced".

.$105 + $65 = $170Closing costs I would suspect to be about $16K so you are all in for $196.Now this doesn't include a safety margin, or holding costs etc. etc.The profit would be around $30K,  if nothing went wrong and there are no additional costs (which is NEVER the case).Now if you want a $10K assignment fee that would bring the profit down to $20K for the buyerThe investor would be all in for $206 and he would make a $20K profit.That deal is too skinny for my taste.Just to do a verification using the $70% rule (which I am fiercely against btw)That would be ($225K x 0.7) - $65K - $10K (your fee) = $82.5K.. should have been your offer.So I stand by my first message.You and so many like you, are struggling because you are not focusing on the right thing.
