Can anyone offer some advice.

That was the job of the roofer.

Also, I think the best way to stand out as a MTR or STR host is to offer amenities that other places don't have.

Do they offer some sort of Guarantee? 

Salem, for example, often offers better cash flow opportunities compared to Portland.

I am trying to get it for around 75% of ARV and waiting for seller to accept offer.  

I just spent 30 minutes helping my plumber try and get funds from a job. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

They get in the door with a "cash offer" without cash.Wholesalers fail because they have the wrong why.

I would tell him that that is an unusual request and he should have notified me before we executed and make it plain that I"m unhappy and offer to let him out of the lease.
