Also, the inspection will provide you all the "little items" as I call them, that will likely come up on the end buyers inspection report and having that in front of you allows you to have your crew repair or add all of those items so the final buyers inspection comes back very clean and leaves little for them to use as negotiating tools.Also, having a second trained pair of eyes on your investment, while in escrow, but BEFORE you purchase, is well worth the small fee!

They are in what I would call an average blue coller area.Not great but not terrible neighborhood.Numbers:-Purchase price is 130k on the pair (no money down at this time)-Taxes are $3600 yr-Insurance is $3400 yr (can this be right?)

"Just Do It" might be good advice if you want to buy a pair of shoes.

They were talking about somebody buying a pair of used 5 year old Mercedes and having 40K (Yep thats right) of unknown loans on THEIR cars.

If you pair that with a "I'm not giving no earnest money deposit" investor attitude, then you can be sure to start an already tenuous relationship off on the wrong foot.

I think they need to pair down that rally mentallity in these PC's.

I assume you mean they each sold for $285 in 2006, not $285 for the pair.

In fact, have multiple pairs of eyes on it.

My wife this, my wife that, next time I'm at Wal-mart, I'll see if I can find you guys a "Pair"....lol.

If you ever need a pair of eyes or something let me know.
