Just underwrite the deal based on your objective and risk tolerance.

I suspect you are not the Borrower and unfortunately, I believe only the Borrower can successfully object to the charges being added to the loan balance.

You can use lock boxes that generate the code with a key inside or digital locks.   

Now they come with digital monitors that connect to your phone.

You could focus on other things and use an agent as an objective third party - paid for by the Seller - to help you avoid making mistakes.Who would you rather represent you in a court of law?

Personal property includes objects such as kitchen cabinets and flooring.

It's relatively inexpensive and you can represent yourself and others.The benefit of having an agent represent you is they understand the market, they can be an second set of eyes, they are objective and not emotionally tied to the transaction, they are skilled negotiators, etc.

shiny object syndrome. don't get shiny object syndrome. find what you want to do, figure out what needs to happen to get there and work on that. day by day by day. i wouldnt jump into airbnb arbitrage as a temporary towards something else.

I want to push back on your "but rising interest rates..." objection.

The Seller pays their commission, they are market experts, they provide an unemotional and objective opinion, they are expert negotiators, you'll have a second set of eyes to see things you miss, and they can write the contracts to protect you and conform with law.Second option would be to use an attorney.Getting legal advice for major purchases from strangers on the internet isn't wise.
