I can't remember the last time one of these people left in an appropriate fashion (not being evicted/breaking a lease).

The real estate market changes like fashion in a clothing store.

They will be the most important part of your team.Maybe get your parents involved in some fashion.

If your pipes are run in such a fashion that there is an individual pipe servicing each unit and that pipe is accessible, then you may be able to meter each unit. 

They may say they will only take $28K but they might be willing to take even less as long as you can close in a timely fashion and/or stricter terms (e.g. no due diligence period).Get An Authorization To Release Information Signed By Seller For You: get the seller to sign an authorization to release information form.

I will add to those comments by saying that since the property has been standing there since 2009, I am positive that your offer is not the first one that he has grappled with mentally and rejected in like fashion.

My funnel is definitely narrowing down the field but it's too narrow because hardly anybody is finishing the process.On the surface it seems like the problem is occurring at the application process.

It works well in scenarios where you have a flat, level surface that is perfectly clean, or when you can easily create one.You should probably use the thicker ones (~$1 per tile) because the thin ones will scrape or tear really, really easily.  

I look at these turnkey companies- norada, hipster, memphis invest, ohiocashflow etc (no knock of these companies- I just seen you post and looked at some of your properties- and their cash flows are attractive but the purchase amts seem higher than what I see on MLS for what appears on surface to be comparable (I use this term lightly as I am not familiar with all their areas) properties. 

Youcan add nice surface mount electrical which will serve its purpose and cost a lot less than busting into the walls.
