I have recently moved in to a property let by Acorns, I knew what I was getting in to a certain extent as I negotiated a discounted rent to do some of the work myself. But by god, I really wish that I hadn't of even looked at the dump. How the hell Acorns are still in business letting houses that you'd laugh at if you saw them Homes under the hammer and well below the hhsrs, is beyond me. I have seen some of the properties they manage, and truthfully, I would say that Acorns are glorified facilitators for slum land lords.
