Assuming homebuyer demand based on yesterday's family formation is an outdated mindset in a new reality.

In my experience, most pre-packaged “lender lists” are static and widely circulated, which means the data can be outdated or already contacted by many investors.The bigger issue usually isn’t having a list — it’s whether the lenders are currently active in your specific market and still funding deals.I’d be curious to hear from anyone who’s actually used it and closed deals from it.

In one case, a routine inspection revealed outdated electrical systems that would have required a complete replacement — a difference of nearly seventy thousand dollars in unexpected investment.

For those curious, if you’re replacing or tearing out an old improvement (say an outdated patio, driveway, fencing, or landscaping) you may be able to write off the remaining undepreciated value of the old asset when the new one is placed in service.Chris Tile, CPA

@Patrick Roberts Thanks Patrick, I could only find some outdated info for the RIEA, I will definitely look into the Greenville Equit Marketing Exchange.

"Grandma's house" is a great place to start because they are typically outdated and straight forward.

You often get better layouts, lower long term maintenance, and units that actually pencil instead of compromising on an outdated property.

You stepped into a situation where the seller was not fully transparent, the property condition did not match expectations, and the photos were outdated.

Per Hope, Lily also has to provide 30 days days notice of moving out, which she didn't do so I now have to consider 1/9 the move out date (Dena verbally told be this week Lily's possessions would be out by then). 

If that unit is outdated, you might wan to consider slowly raising the rent, to give yourself more time since you are house hacking and it takes time to do one unit after another.
