It helps to have a short memory and thick skin in real estate sales.

Personally wouldn't want to finance an inexperienced landlord.Lenders like to see skin in the game and equity in a desirable property.Why couldn't you get a bank loan?

Way too easy for people, like this woman, to say, "Whatever, I changed my mind," when they don't have any skin in the game. 

Therefore I require all lease terms to match length of orders and the lease terms must also meet my needs.No Deposit without a Signed Lease OR VICE VERSA- Your deposit is your “skin in the game”.

Be sure to also make an offer contingent upon your satisfaction of an interior inspection of all units, pest and dry rot, roof, financing and so forth.

Do I need to remove that as well, or can I just let in dry and use self leveling cement on top?

Have you ever lived in an apartment above a restaurant, dry cleaner, barber shop, etc? 

It is generally called having skin in the game.
