Trying to rent out an undesirable house is not a winning proposition.

The key to making a good deal is to create a win for the seller or at least the perception.  

Win-Win, you either get the increased rent or the ability to renovate. 

I agree with a win-win scenario for all parties.

I would be beyond thrilled if someone else wins it, as long as they fully understood that they are getting the SECOND, but it's unlikely.

Always remember to persist and you will WIN!!!!

Maybe later on in this thread we'll get to hear from some satisfied investors that have had good experiences with them, and it's probable that some of their employees will come on this thread to explain why they do things the way they do, but to me it seems like their business structure is set up to take advantage of new investors who don't know any better, and NWA seems to make more money on $5k non-refundable down payments and predatory lending practices than they make on conducting win-win transactions. 

It’s a win/win.

You're right that I don't have recently sold comps to compare it to so it's only the opinion of the realtor but since we're not planning to sell, I'll still take it as a win. 

Inherited tenants can be a pain; however, if possible negotiate terms strategically and stay firm in implementing management protocols in order to create a win-win.
