No where in their publications were "dirty drip pans" on the range listed as a reason for failure; when I asked about this, the answer was, essentially, tough beans. 

Restaurants have a high failure rate because they are limited to people they can reach based on geographic location whereas internet based companies can reach millions.

I found this from the HUD (if it helps:) https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/4155-2_4.pdfTypical conditions that would require further inspection or testing byqualified individuals or entities include: infestation – evidence of termites inoperative or inadequate plumbing, heating, or electrical systems structural failure in framing members leaking or worn-out roofscracked masonry or foundation damage, and drainage problems.Sounds to me like everything you listed wrong with the property is what caused the appraiser to give a C5 and the deal cannot proceed as so. 

Sorry to just get back to everyone but I'm coming back to BP with an abundance of learning experiences, failures and success after a ton of consistency and grinding!!

Don't be afraid of failures since successful people also fail but get back up and do it all over again.

Failure Failure Failure !!!

Liz Faircloth gave a wonderful presentation focused on their successes and failures that gave a great realistic view of what real estate investing is really like and it made me think large failures or setbacks happen to investors and, rather than just stewing in a failure, I need to get up and keep moving forward.7.

You could still make money on a deal, but you won't make as much as if you've seen 25 homes and know what all values and repair looks like in the market.Also, one more thing I think that is a big failure mechanism for new investors is ego.

That's just setting you up for failure.  

Based on their over-the-top Zestimates and recent house buying program failure, it illustrated that even these large groups don't necessarily understand the market.
