Was just looking for decent leverage , minimal risk  Ended up closing with Walnut Street Finance within 5days of clear to close from sellers..

Apparently the seller knew about it for many years but did not fix it.  

New sellers, their home if in okay condition, or coffee shop. 

Find motivated sellers to get properties at below market values so everything cash flows.

If I was the seller I could care less to be honest but that seller may want to put in a contract that the properties must close back to back or the deal is void.

The rental demand in my market is strong but i've never screened for renters before. 

you know some of these markets are flooded with rentals.. and it could be market symptoms.. everyone and their brother has been buying sfr s and turning them to rentals.. you could have a supply demand issue as well.great pictures are a must though in all marketing.. instant communications for a large outfit may be unrealistic.. 

They are potential buyers and sellers for you.Good luck!

We are 50/50 partners in our LLC and both contributed cash to the purchase of a SFH rental, which was attained below market value due to a distressed seller. 

You were not clear about how much is 'too much', what were you offering, what was the counter from seller, etc.
