I live in the south, so between high moisture/humidity and weather, moisture is present.  

We are looking for a duplexes or single family (most multi-family are over our present budget).  

Both during bull markets like 2014-2020 and during busts like 2009-2012 and 2022-present.

If there is mold present you must go to the sticks and bleach it out.

Does the landlord have to be present in court to testify?

It got to the point to where I just could NOT listen to DG/RA - it sounded like 2 buddies in a dark cheap bar with a weird sense of humor making jokes back and forth that only they got.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: But like I said its only a handful of folks I would trust to be my clients for this type of activity far more risky than vanilla lending.Why do you believe the risks are higher in the scenario I outlined where clear title is guaranteed at closing but not weeks in advance to present to an underwriter? 

If they're funding a deal on it's entirety that I'm presenting to them I'm asking for 10-20% net profit and I'm managing it for 18-24mos then doing a cash out refi to repay the investment plus and switching equity stakes...for smaller buy and holds like multiple single family rentals.  

The local agent that was present at the beginning of the project had gone completely silent.

This includes removing of all commission data from the MLS both past and present.
