Highest and best" is pretty common when the house was listed lower than what the market will bear, meaning multiple offers came in.

There is a clause in the zoning code - that is common in the greater metro area cities here and probably nationally, that if less than 50% of a structures value is lost due to fire, etc, that the structure can be rebuilt to its present use of 4 separate units.

 Totally dependent on whatever is common in the neighborhood and your exit strategy.

A common theme that comes up is OPM (Other Peoples’ Money).

A very common scenario for a new(er) investor: Tenant fails to pay rent, leaves the home with $2,000 in cleaning and repairs, and it takes you a month to turn the property around and get it filled.

They cash flow very well with one property taking in $2,425 a month ($29,100 annually) and the other $2,245 a month ($26,940).I’m actually surprised at the hurdles I’m encountering trying to get someone to loan against these properties, even at a 50% LTV (conservative estimates are each building is worth $225k - $250k).Some of the more common objections I’ve heard are:“We don’t loan to out-of-state owners.”

I don't know what region you are in but for my market (San Antonio, TX), foundation issues are extremely common.

For all of the Shelter In Place period here the most common thing to hit the market were flips . . really shiny, pretty, nice flips. 

If you buy a new property, it should have very few maintenance calls other than a few guests who might leave their common sense at home.A key FL home issue is hurricanes. 

Feel free to look through all the agent profiles and see if there is a common firm that many of them are a part of.
