Its a 2 family home in a rough neighborhood, one side vacant and the other is occupied.I have an okay relationship with the existing tenant but it has been a constant struggle with late rent, her keeping the property a mess, and her unit is disgusting, etc. 

In general, this forces the person inheriting the property to sell.  

Also how do you find lenders so that one can invest without their own personal money.

Personally the hot tub is only a perk if we like the house so  as referenced here themed room and location win the day.hot tub is a blessing or a curse - either they are spotless or nasty and there seems to be no in between.We would never not rent a str because it did or didn't have a hot tub but if we had two similar places we would most likely book the property without the hot tub.

Not only that, partner with experienced investors who can partner with you on these deals- Usually it's a personal preference on which market to choose.

I wanted to ask the forum to hear personal experiences from those who have managed flips remotely themselves without a GC and how it went?

I'm struggling to find a good deal sheet calculator that I can use with my hard money lender.

However, the presence of personal items like clothes, a suitcase, and a pot on the stove inside the RV raised red flags.

If its a 2-4 unit you only need 15% down using a True Portfolio program and you have DSCR as a back up that uses the STR rents to qualify and avoid personal tax returns or income.  

We have several people who have requested the application but i am struggling with the fact that despite paying the application fee they may not be choosen.
