You can't.When you start flipping and selling your flips you also notice that when I do this finish, and this style, and this pot filler, people usually offer 20% above asking price.

Go get that hammock and lobster pot.

Now... here is what we did:AFTER:Now, when you look closely... its just shiplap for the bathrooms, framing in a standard island in the kitchen and accenting it with more shiplap, an extra faucet for the stove range (a pot filler is our signature move but there obviously is no wall to put one for the stove so we had to be creative)...All and all this added maybe a few extra grand to the budget and look how different this ended up compared to what most rental investors would do... and BECAUSE we chose these finishes the market value of the house skyrocketed and we get more money back when we refinance it.

Hopefully, they will leave quickly voluntarily.  

(not 100% sure of the nuances of a short sale)If the sellers are in need of a short sale, they don't have the strongest negotiating position...I might ask for more time for the stated purpose, or you might have to withdraw....If they push back perhaps offer more consideration ie: maybe you put more earnest money into the pot to show how serious you are or maybe pay for an option?

The tenant left a pot of boiling oil on the stove and caused a massive kitchen fire.

People with no jobs, pot smokers, etc.

I've heard of this with tenants growing pot in the house.Not saying that's the case (there are lots of reasons to pay in advance), but just something to keep in mind.

The whole story too is that you need to work at it, don't buy all the notes and sit back, you make more churning the pot, buy it, modify, refi, have the borrower sell, get borrowers to move up, expand as you make things happen you want to get paid earlier than the maturity.

You'll never get a 2 amp coffee pot, crock pot, toaster, hair dryer, clothes dryer, washing machine or stove and fridge.
