It's interesting to see that both investors & us agents feel the same about Zillow's Zestimates.

@Peter Shafik thank you, its definitely something us agents have/need to learn. ive learned to be firm & confident over the years but sometimes even my top dog investors/brokers dont get responses, just frustrating lol!

@Edward Liu - Section 1(e) of the Contract you linked to states:In the event of a breach of this Contract by Seller, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer, upon Buyer's request, but such return shall not affect any other remedies available to Buyer for such breach.Failing to close is a breach by Buyer.

I am currently renting a place in a good neighborhood, and wanting to buy it from the owner, I e-mailed the property manager to ask the owner if he/she will be willing to sell it to me.

It provides cash flow that I live on as I self-manage my commercial/residential r/e rental portfolio which is a longer term play. 

I understand they would share the income received from laundry usage by tenants and maintain the equipment.Thanks in advance.

@Carolina E. thank you!

@Sharon S.I use google drive for storage and cozy for rent payment and beaver for accounting/bookkeeping and schedule e preparation. 

@Chris Politylo  In general I believe most STR owners go the traditional financing route to which they are usually going to have to show previous schedule E/C tax returns to prove monthly revenue to apply as additional income when qualifying.
