Ask for finance options early on and make sure you are adequately covering your costs and that the bank is OK paying for an item that isn't delivered to the site yet. 

It seems to me you believe the same.In addition, I also appreciate the list of items you have shared with me to look into when making a criteria for the type of property I am looking for, to be frank, I wasn't thinking all these minor details but it seems to me that's where the difference is made from the ones who succeed and ones who fail (like my coworkers mentioned earlier)@Bryant TroupeThank you for your response Bryant.

I will add an item to this list and believe it should be near the top of the list: what are the current STR regulation and what is the sentiment.  

The opportunity would then be in updating their payment systems to new tech, building a strong online presence so people can book online, marketing to the local community and offering items for purchase inside of the facility (locks, moving boxes, dolly rental, etc).How's your car wash search going, brother?

Only headache I have found at all is when I pay off a loan, it kind of disappears and I don't get the full line item register list of transactions on a close/paid off loan, SO to cheat the system, I alter my last transaction to leave $1 owing in the account to keep it alive. 

NOTHING.Everytime you skimp out on one of these items mentioned above you make it harder to become succesful making a deal.

Thought I would add my thoughts.A frequent mistake I see is that people combine different kinds of items and then calculate the average.

To accomplish this every time I purchase an item I add the details (ETA, staging location, link to product description, etc.) to a deliveries sheet which is shared with my property manager.

.- Determined some clear search metrics for MLS listings (so far not much in that category)Action Items:- Come up with a outreach text for the list of vacant homes I receive monthly from my local county- Find some wholesale mailing lists. 

Many say 8582, some say 8582AMT, and a few are 1116 or 1116AMT (looks like they are related to foreign sources), NJ-BUS-2 (NJ forms), and there is one line item for 8995.
