Helped several in the real estate biz with my knowledge in all things tech.Traffic is starting to pick up so far so good.

You do need to speak with a knowledgeable real estate attorney to craft something specifically for what you are trying to do.

Your contractor or someone knowledgeable should be able to get a good idea from a visual inspection.

You could really get in a wringer if you charged the card on the 15th and they filed for bankruptcy on the 14th without your knowledge.

I am going to be soaking int he knowledge as I start finding deals.

People love sharing their knowledge with you.

I hear massive dumps will be ocurring, then nothing.

We have maintenance install the washer and dryers so they are hooked up correctly.We use teflon tape,the steel braided hoses wit the high quality washers on the inside.Where the discharge hose goes into the drain we install a strap to the wall so the discharge hose won't fall out when draining and leak.Even given all that if they have an old washer it can give out and water can be released.The simple fix is a drain pan under the washer with a pipe that ties into the discharge pipe in the wall.All of this will cost about 40 bucks or so not including labor.Well worth it than cleaning up a huge leak causing massive damage.We also check the hot and cold water valves the supply lines hook into from the washer.The valves might be gone and partially leaking.Also if the tenant installs the washer and dryer they might over tighten fittings causing bent pipes and damage or under tighten having leaks.Been my experience with over 20 units on a 30 year old building.

For instance in Georgia the GREC (Georgia real estate commission) cares NOTHING about ethics.What they do care about is license laws.If you are a REALTOR for example you subscribe to the CODE OF ETHICS.In my state it is not required to be a REALTOR to have an agents license or a brokers license.Just because someone is not a REALTOR and has a license does not mean that person is not ethical.I see nothing wrong with a buyer or seller who has spent considerable time learning knowledge to gain a competitive advantage in a transaction.

You seem knowledgeable in this, is this something youve had experience with?
