Hi Steven,It sounds like you and your wife, Renee, have a wealth of experience in the real estate and construction fields, which is a great foundation for starting your real estate investing business.Given your background in residential remodeling and home inspections, and Renee's experience as a real estate agent, you're off to a strong start.

Question: I'm an agent trying to deal with an owner on a small commercial prop says once a buyer signs LOI they can get any relevant leases do their due diligence as well as do their inspection before going to contract.

The truth is, they will keep playing games and milk you for every penny they can, then they will leave the house a mess and cost more with cleaning, repairs, and vacancy.

Hiring a local real estate attorney or working with a knowledgeable agent is recommended to ensure compliance and protect your investment.3.

If you are a legal property manager in your state the owner should have the unfettered ability to allow you to act as his/her agent to enforce the lease, whatever provisions they may contain plus whatever your state laws allow.

I have no attorney, agent. 

I suggest focusing on building your "Core 4" team—agent, lender (one who can finance both the purchase/rehab and refinance is ideal), contractor, and property manager.

Found this deal via a real estate agent.
