The exception is an FHA 203K construction loan - but that's additional complication for the buyer and a slower transaction for you.Conventional loans require only that all major systems are functioning normally. 

Always give people the chance to remedy without involving a third party.Odds are good if they simply tell the neighbor, "That weed smell is really strong in our townhome and I have a medical condition that makes it hard more me to breath with that smoke smell.

@Sophia Villebro I've only seen the professional designation of the P in PLLC in like law, accounting or medical/health firms.I agree with Account Closed in that it sounds unnecessary.   

It rarely has anything to do with the "fault" of the medical professional.

Indianapolis is huge for the amount of medical staff that we have rolling through here. 

Dangerous, not unlike getting medical advice from non-doctors.The only person on this thread qualified to give you legal advice was @Katie Balatbat, and she did not give you any specific advice.

Sure it's easy to say starting with small properties is slower than bigger ones but following that theory you should just buy $100M commercial property because you'll make more money. 

The payoff method sounds slower, I'd probably only get to the same 10 properties in 35 years (I haven't considered how quickly it'll snowball, maybe the last 5 may take only 10 years to do with all the cash flow from 5 paid off properties), but I'm not desperate for real estate cash flow.

This can be applied to single family, multifamily, land, office, retail, medical, industrial, etc.If you need cash flow and are looking to build wealth over time - Buy properties in good locations and rent them out.

In the desirable areas for young people like Avondale, Logan Square, etc. prices are still going up but at a slower and what I believe more "normal" pace.
