@Thomas Hamm That shouldn't be an issue as long as your DTI is at 40% or less.  70% LTV before 6 months is also referred to as delayed financing. 

I'll offer to include the cost of moving her stuff (ave cost local move is 2,300) to a storage facility of her choice in town. 

I understand when it is a bunch of poor choices that add up but I wonder if just the shower head is enough to say hey not this one.   

I'm a wholesaler out of North Carolina, and a vast portion of my network has come from Bigger Pockets, as people refer investors to me when they're looking to expand to my market.

This is the further expanded category of Fixed Cost that I was referring to:Purchase Cost- Inspection Costs- Closing Costs- Lender FeesHolding Cost- Mortgage Payments- Property Taxes- Utilities- InsuranceSelling Cost- Commissions- Closing Cost- Home warranty- Termite Letter- MLS Fees

Cross reference that to Facebook, craigslist or any rental place if you notice that turn over seems high.

The repairs that you are referring to are superficial.

@Jeremy Torres, here I go talking about the car on a real estate site....Congrats on the choice of a Honda Civic! 

I also mentor new agents and many are struggling - they have to compete with agents who have been around for awhile and have a network of clients who trust and refer them and they also have to compete with teams paying upwards of $16,000 a month for leads to places like Zillow. 

If you have specific requirements on what you want your property management software to have that will narrow down your choices.
