First Time purchase questions

Tom Fontaine

Posted

I am looking for my first purchase.  I live in Georgia and always wanted a place in Florida that we can use when visiting the area and rent it when we are not in the area.  I've come in contact with a real estate agent that is selling 2 condos in West Palm Beach.  They own it themselves but selling both properties for $130k each.  Both are currently rented and have been for 2 and 3 years respectively for 1250.00 and 1200.00 monthly.  I've asked if they are good tenants and been told yes although one pays a few days late but always has paid with a late charge.  What other questions should I ask to make sure of what I am getting into?  They have told me they are selling and moving closer to where the bulk of their rentals are and trying to get rid of these.  What can I ask for prior to the sale?  Rental records?  I don't want to visit and tour if things don't seem right.
