Whether it's in crypto, mutual funds vs. index funds, or in wholesaling, we tend to only focus on the successes and don't fully take into account the failures.  

I personally dislike large homes because the rent tends to be roughly the same as a ranch but there is way more home to paint, carpet, and other misc maintenance.  

Hot and dry is actually pretty easy on a property and doesn't tend to cause crazy, over the top damage.

The problem is older people tend to want to keep what they have and not put it at risk but outpace inflation.Where you see opportunity they see a headache.

The problem that @Raquel L. and her PM have is that these are all not in the best parts of town, and the good renters know it so they tend to avoid those areas.

The books for owner operators tend to be poorly kept in many cases whereas larger building the books are more realistic.

They also tend to be very slow in their responses.

I tend to overdesign things, so it's good to have some more reality-based pints of view :-)

What tends to follow this act are developments and homes built to suburban standards and little architectural details.

Throughout the process, call the mortgage broker (get the seller's written permission to contact the broker as part of the contract) once per week (Tuesday or Thursdays tend to be the best) and get a status on the loan.
