I don't condone his crimes, but if he's okay and fully functioning right now and paying rent and maybe even a nice guy, then kicking him out would just be ridiculous.

College towns like Auburn don't function like other places.

For tenants you think functional/durable which is usually in conflict when dealing with a SFH property.

I've run a kitchen for years. 70 - 80 hour weeks regularly that are physically and mentally (most kitchen employees are not the most functional adults, it's partly a babysitting job) exhausting.

I offered 150k all cash, 100k earnest, closing 4 days or less, and only due diligence as a contingency to get someone out to see if the foundation was still functional.

We are also discussing on how to file for taxes as this one partner will claim the taxes this year and the pla was to rotate between the 3 families.

The lender themselves use outside companies (in most instances) to rotate through appraisers randomly. 

I'd like to meet the guy who came up with these % rules....Your capex ("major improvements") budget is a function of the age, the condition and the replacement value of them home.

I am going to an extended family function in LA & SoCal.

Consider the local rental market - will a functioning pool allow you to get higher rent, or a better tenant?
