Anyone else use Tulsa County eviction case data to find "tired landlords" looking to sell their rental properties?

TL;DR1) There is no basis for the claim that no skin in the game means a flipper in trouble will walk.2) For 1-4 unit properties, a lender can’t call a loan if the borrower takes on a 2nd.I have a different perspective and would like to see some data behind the claim that no skin in the game increases the likelihood that a flipper will walk away if they face a problem. 

You may or may not want to take the tests to become an agent, that is immaterial.

If that one unit has average stays of 7 days or less and you materially participate in managing it, that activity can be non-passive even though the rest of the fourplex is long-term rental and remains passive.Material participation is still required, so you’d be looking at the standard §469 tests, most commonly the 100-hour test where no one else spends more time than you.One thing to be careful about is allocation.

Quote from @Kevin Poler: Appreciate it, Tim.Deals like this really highlight how sensitive outcomes are to financing assumptions — especially rates and reserves — even when execution and rent growth are strong.Curious from a lender’s perspective: are you seeing borrowers stress-test DSCR at +50–100 bps right now, or still underwriting closer to in-place terms? 

If you actively participate and qualify under the STR material participation rules, you may be able to offset W-2 income with those losses, especially if your AGI stays near $100K and you meet the IRS tests.

There are also purchase and refinance programs for investment loan programs that can help you scale faster and exit your day jobs more quickly as they will allow purchase loans to be structured with AirDNA and refinances to be structured with STR data.

That gives me time to see what guests respond to, dial in the systems, and make sure the next phase is built off real data instead of guesses.

Looking forward to hearing different perspectives.Strong take — and honestly, this needs to be said more often.Cold calling doesn’t just test beginners, it conditions them.And most of the time, it conditions them to associate real estate with rejection, frustration, and noise — not progress.Early momentum isn’t a “soft” thing.

In practice, a manager can handle day-to-day execution (guest messaging, cleaners, routine issues), but the owner needs to perform and document meaningful owner-level work—pricing and policy decisions, vendor selection/oversight, approving repairs and invoices, listing strategy, bookkeeping/financial reviews, and compliance tasks—because if the manager logs more hours than you, the “100+ hours and more than anyone else” test becomes difficult.
