If the property is currently a meth lab, the condition of the prop alone should deter anyone from buying it (unless these meth guys are extremely clean and responsible).

Thanks to all of you ...I currently use a rental company but was curious as to what of those who do their own rental and hassle with cleaning and maintenance between customer stays did.I pay 20% and my HOA is $750/ month..making it hard to make a profit

The last thing to consider is the quality of the tenant.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

lower quality of tenant in general, even less growth than Fayetteville (which is already abysmal), and it's a ~25 minute commute to get theseSpring lake often looks good on PAPER but real estate doesn't work by what's on paper.

If someone does not read the instructions or call for help, they get what they create.All IRA horror stories have one common root - failure to educate oneself on the process.This can stem from several sources:Plan providers that focus on marketing, not education.Plans that do not come bundled with access to quality ongoing support.Investors who just think of this as "an account" or "a pile of money" and do not respect the fact that with the freedom to take more control over their investment portfolio comes a responsibility to be aware of and operate within the rules.For investors who take the time to be properly educated and work with a quality provider, there is very little risk. 

No points, clean flat 15% no matter what not even APR.

Hi @Allie Barke, CapEx or condos are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay lower. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2015/10/13/real-estate-capex-estimate-capital-expenditures/The article does a good job of listing the costs line item, but does require adjusting based off the quality of your condo, and your market. 

Start over with a new lender (if you're working with a mortgage broker, have her start over with a new lender), two months means enough time for two clean bank statements without any crazy money movement to hit prior to closing.
