I once had a body builder as a tenant and he was very particular about his AC temps.

But I think the bigger examples like the population migration to Florida and Texas are critical when considering where to invest and more impactful in the location, location, location statement.  

If they shut off what ever outstanding balance impacts their credit not you as a landlord. 

"Best" could mean most impactful, decision you learned the most from, most lucrative etc.  

@John Teachout I did get that feedback when I was trying to find my last tenant so I know it does impact the number of people interested.

I ask because, I’m having a hard time understanding how to structure payment vs asking rental amount vs marketSecond question, scenarios with newbies with troubled credit who happened to acquire a property through a hard money lender, how does their credit impact their refinance chances when the property stabilizes after a year of ownership?

You're right that Crosstown could impact the value of that property, and you could do the work to it in the hopes that it pans out, but that just seems like a stretch and a lot of capital tied up into the property.

Unfortunately, you are not the only person who has been impacted by Morris Invest here in Indianapolis.

I'm just looking to buy real estate for rental or flip purposes.Dodd-Frank creates certain restrictions on the ability to sell real estate using seller financing (which don't apply because in this scenario because non-consumer purchases are exempt), but how does it impact someone's ability to market themselves as a real estate buyer who makes their purchases using custom tailored seller financed offers?

You still won’t avoid the expense, but the earlier you catch it, the better chance you have in making other adjustments to reduce the impact on the total budget.These are two which I always had trouble with and now spare a small expense upfront to help me determine if I need to make some changes to my budget.
