if you buy homeowner insurance, and have a claim, you'll quickly discover that spending $300 for homeowner coverage is not a savings, it's a waste, because you weren't covered at all.I refer all my borrowers to National Real Estate Insurance / Affinity Group.

Perhaps you or anyone can refer me to a lender or maybe partner up?

When a property has been vacant for some time (the utility company knows this from their records), the utility company can consider it a safety hazard to turn on the utility service without some inspection and repairs being performed first.And repairs are probably something you wouldn't want to do.Also to add to his item #2, some utility companies either want to see proof of ownership of some sort, or a lease signed by a tenant and the known owner, to turn on utilities.

Buy the porperty as "Mike Nelson and or Assigned".Another option is to find the people you are refering to - the ones talking about it all the time and ask them a few questions.

along with an e-book reference you might consider buying.Jeff

Also, of course, asking the seller who referred them to cross check.

Most turn key sellers these days advertise zero for all of these items.

That's equivalent to a store missing an item when ringing up your order or a waiter forgetting to ad an item onto the check.

How do they ignore these items, you ask?

My whole thing is I am rehabbing other units right now.This lady has lived there for awhile so I know carpet and other items will need to be replaced.I will have to see if she blinks first and pays the money.
