I will be working full time after deciding to hold off on finishing college.I currently reside in Iowa City, Iowa and either plan on buyin my first property here or in my home town of Des Moines, Iowa. 

@Charles Holder by no means am I a professional but from what I’ve gathered on here and word of mouth is..Va offers a “rehab” loan similar to the va loan.

I am a contractor in the Iowa City, IA area.I have read books on real estate investing in the past but have never taken any steps towards actually investing.

I a newbie but it doesn't sounds like a deal to me.

When tenants give you security deposit, you will deposit it I. A

I do not hate my job, it is rather interesting but I as Robert Kiyosaki wrote I am totally "working for money" (thanks Bigger Pockets for the book recommendation).

In Iowa for example, if the buyer defaults on payments the contract is voidable and they become a "tenant at will."

Hi everyone and thank you in advance for any advice you may have.I have a situation where I purchase a house 6 month's ago for a family member,my daughter,to move into.I applied for and received permits to do construction repairs to the property.Since the house was purchased by me for a family member,I as the homeowner was able to pull the needed permits.I am not a licensed contractor.The permits were for scope of work/general repairs and minor electrical repairs.In my state of South Carolina if an owner pulls permits on second homes or investment properties,you are not allowed to sell or rent the property for two years.Well do to unforeseen circumstances,illness in family,my daughter can not move in and I will need to list the house for sell.It will cause me some financial problems if I try to keep it.The majority of the repairs have been done but are not complete.I need to sell the house in unfinished as is condition.My question is has anyone dealt with open permits when selling a property.The permits are with the County of Charleston and they have always had a hard nosed attitude about generating revenue.I know the most obvious answer will be to call the building dept. and find out what to do,but just wanted to get a heads up before I do from anyone who may have had a similar experience.Thank you....
