They also came back and had to lower our max LTV and that was the nail in the coffin. 

Andrew hit the nail on the head... the Raleigh/Durham market is a really tough market to invest in right now. 

Minor cosmetic issues such as scuffs and nail pops are usually just noted by the tenant on the form.

That way when you go to court for an eventual eviction you have everything backing you up showing he has been non-compliant and if he really wasn't impacted by COVID that will be the nail in his coffin.Sorry for the long response, just trying to help from someone who's in a highly pro-tenant state.

@Dumitru Zah@Jessica Watson If you guys would really like to come visit the Palmdale, Lancaster, Antelope Valley area I would love to show you around:-) I'm also always happy to run comps for a purchase, or rental if you are looking to buy in the area and want to nail down your figures. 

I'm looking at 10-15 properties a day sometimes and running a spreadsheet, but usually have been using $30-40/sf just for time's sake to see if the deal looks like something worth having my mentor take a look at.Also, i'm not familiar with the 'hammer and nails' side of things.
