I have done that in the past almost as a hedge against any damage they may cause.

It's funny cause they have less of a reason to get to know the neighbors than a long term tenant but more time to develop friction than a short term guest. 

I’m curious how others think about it — what usually causes you to walk away from a deal that still pencils on paper? 

—Today, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the borough of Pottstown’s ordinance allowing officials to search rental homes without a warrant based on probable cause is unconstitutional.

Once you’re clear on what each term means, it gets way easier to tweak your setup and spot what’s actually causing the weird behavior you’re seeing.

- Does it actually cause delays or problems for you, or is it just an annoyance?

From funding delays to draw timing — what tends to cause the biggest bottlenecks on your flips?

It will cost a few more dollars in prevention, but it will save many, many dollars in cure.For the record, the tenant should be held responsible for maintenance issues they caused. 

I think I could afford the mortgage especially cause a unit is already rented at a fair price.

At worst they offer incorrect and damaging information costing the recepient loss of money and time, and in some cases leading to damages to the people the “mentored” are dealing with .It is fashionable amongst those with limited formal edification to buy into the self servicing bs put forth by those selling the $20-40k programs that formal education is a waste of money and time, and actually may be harmful to your success.
