Could also hire a good STR company that can market the property better, price strategically, and offer better guest experience since the owner emotions are moved, which in turn ups the revenue. 

Most lenders that offer nice looking terms are just that, nice looking.

Choose your property wisely - Multi-unit properties like triplexes and fourplexes offer potential economies of scale and income diversification.

I'm having trouble finding any company that will offer insurance.

If you had to cancel 6 under-contract properties is because you are offering too much.

We command a lower purchase price when making offers, or we don't buy. 

Again, lease doesn't explicitly state there will be an increase though, and for having the most sq footage (1 br + basement) she's paying below market rent.Units 3+4: two more studio apts, can rent for $750 each.I plan to put in an offer contingent upon inspection (and obviously getting into Unit 2...), but I'm not sure whether I should also ask for the property to be delivered vacant..My questions:- If I keep the tenants, what should I obtain from the current owner or the tenants themselves?

I have changed lives and helped people build wealth by offering investing possibilities.Keep your fire blazing, prospective real estate investors!

if the property is $100K and the rehab is $60K you'll need 10-15% down plus closing costs plus holding costs - conservatively 16-24K + 5-10K + 6-12K = 30-45K at leastand you don't want that to be all your savings... so you'd need separate savings and emergency funds - i'd want 25-50K depending on situation, lifestyle, etc.so 50-100K i guessbut that's just a horseshoes and hand grenade estimatethese types of questions are hard because we don't know much about you or your financial situationWhat if the house, let’s just say, is $100,000 and my lender is offering to pay the closing cost (3-5%) and they will cover 100% of the house and rehab?
