Very unstable, too many red flags to bother screening based on my standards.My concern is you are too highly motivated/desperate based on filling the unit immediately to be making rational decisions.

Some staging to off set neutral color - seasonal something....right now maybe Easter basket or red decoration?

@Blake HornbrookI would definitely stay away from big banks such as B of A, PNC, Wells Fargo, etc. only because there is so much red tape around leveraging them to acquire income producing properties —especially in the beginning stages of building an RE portfolio.

But like Anthony said Boston and many other metros are red hot. 

Nice opportunity for someone just not for me at this point.

I also had another experience where a house was appraised for $89K  the agent wanted me to pay $100K  because it was rented  I told him  that means I would go over $10K in the red as soon as I signed papers  his only reply was it was rented....seriously I asked him if he was serious   ???

Recently it went vacant I didn’t panic since it leaves some meat on the bone.

If they balk at this, that's a massive red flagThey should also be fine with you using financing of your choosing, as long as they have time to vet the provider.

Lots of red flags here.

@Tracy Minick My RE strategy is to specifically target and acquire properties with tenants already in place for cash flow purposes —vacant properties are not attractive to me at this time.
