My lease has an access/inspection paragraph that allows entry for inspections and/or maintenance.

It seems finding cash flow deals is slim-to-none, unless I'm looking at war zone areas where entry price is low but rents are high, and so I've pivoted to focusing on appreciation with the expectation that rent would cover all expenses + a little extra.

In Phoenix, the "entry level flips" in my part of town have become completely speculative.

I'm in the middle of a big (ridiculous) tenant dispute now, after they refused to pay, refused entry to the building, refused to provide an information.

This allows a lower barrier to entry into REI.Cons - as others have mentioned, you will have a neighbor who is your tenant.

Rentals provide the lowest barrier to entry and require the least education.

As you're realizing, wholesaling has a low barrier to entry which is good and bad.

I create 2 entries for that tenant as though they are room mates.

In the seller disclosure document, among many other issues, I see mice/rodent infestation which apparently caused a few "holes" in the outside wall.I was wondering if anybody ever dealt with something like this and if it's just a matter of fixing the entry points and call a good exterminator.

I'm bullish on the market here long term, especially in the entry-level price band and it's a tough one to break into, so if they're decent properties in "path of progress" type locations, I'd want to keep them personally.
