It will avoid all of the finger pointing if you cannot get the rent values that were assumed when buying the property.  

See how easy you can break them with your fingers on a sample, as this is your weak point.3.

So, be optimistic, but cautiously so--and keep your fingers crossed. 

Nothing could go wrong there,lol.Damn BoomersGlobal warming, unsettled children, anything else...Not trying to point fingers, but I was still in high school when the 07/08 crash happened, so it couldn't have been my fault ;) 

Ray, I daon't have any advice at my finger tips, however, I'm currently trying to establish written systems and checklists for guiding myself through the process.

Tenants have been cooperative and we haven't had any hiccups since the sewer line (fingers crossed)Another big lesson learned from the property has been that small mistakes can be way more costly on SFH because there isn't more cash flow to split the costs and all SFH are on there own systems.

The problem with pointing a finger is a) at the decision making of a government entity who will have their own rules posted b) how long a time frame from close to the zone change and how long was vacant... c) what is the difference in value?

I keep my finger on the real estate pulse.

Just like when you take that ring off your finger it doesn't mean you are single.If you want to put two people on the lease say they are jointly and severally liable and have both sign as tenants.

What is the best way to fund this super-expensive repair without just writing a check and then, crossing fingers that the insurance company will pay up?
