While I plan on doing mostly landlording, I do also think I can combine some flipping with the rentals for a more hybridized exit strategy.

I'm looking at doing a combination house hack / flip / refi money out and make a student rental haha.

Agents can spin or omit crucial details in order to get paidI hold an open house on weekend or whenever is convenient for me and give prospects a 4 hour window to see property.I find when tenants see competition you tend to get property rented fairly quickly.Little things like prospects calling, emailing, signing contacts, sending deposits, when they say they will can give you a pretty good indication of the kind of tenant they will be, and if you combine their integrity/actions with the things I mentioned in earlier post you should be good to go. 

With regards to over budget, yes it does happen, rarely but it does, and I would probably think of the best answer to that in a day.In your experience, what would be your thoughts if i revise the critical area from my above answers?

There is a combination of two factors.

The combined mortgages total owed is $140k which is about 40K above the current values.  

A mortgage payment is a combination of the amount, terms, and rate. 

So storing things rarely happens.

@Ben Leybovich and @Joshua Dorkin As a newbie investor myself, perhaps I'm the rare position of being able to provide value in response to the question that you've posed here.  

Yeah, so we try to identify the most optimal combination of high cash flow and high appreciation potential.
