It kind of feels like basically just filing the papers and not much explanation behind anything.

We basically don't have a back yard, but so far, stopping by the park regularly for our 1.5 year old seems manageable....

I've *visited* some older homes - a couple from around 1900 - but I didn't own them or live in them.The first thing that comes to mind is structural problems, like with the foundation or basic framing.  147 years is a long time for frost, water, wood rot, termites, etc to do their thing. 

I'm pretty sure the property has some equity and that' why I'm interested.He basically flat out told me for me to "just take over my mortgage payments, I don't want to deal with paying for it" He's not trying to make any money out of it, he just wants to move and no longer deal with it. 

However basically loos like what I get.

Basically, an alternative to simply searching for properties by location.

Which basically means that the tenant is unlawfully detaining you from the use of your property. 

He basically knows how I want things and just plugs in the new info. 

@Jake Islas  pretty basic when it comes to investing the 4 door rule and the 5 door rule don't say that to any agent you run across they will know your a little green.1 to 4 banks look at as resi type loans... 5 doors or more are commercial.. generally speaking unless your a very high w 2 wage earner or very cashed up 1099 earner more than 4 resi loans is tough.once you pop into 5 doors or more and commercial the financing becomes completely different.All agents that do commercial real estate are investor friendly that's all they do.. so you don't need to specify that again showing your experience level is important if you want the best agents working with you.. if the commercial agents even get a wiff of a newbie your not going to be dealing with the best ones.
