Others won't provide a CO with broken windows, interior wall damage, etc.

and move on to an new location.Of course, you may need an owner finance type situation or a co-signer (folks) but you have a proven ability to handle and make money.Best of luck!

Not to mention "additional insureds" can't collect a check when there is a loss, they only get liability protection (legal defense) in the event of a liability claim.This is an easy fix: You get your insurance broker to issue a policy in your title holding entities name as a named insured and then list the old owners name (the person on the mortgage) as a co-named insured with the acronym "ATIMA" out beside it.

I do not think that you would find a loan with a co-signor and all that debt, especially using student loan money for a downpayment, the bank will probably ask for proof of funds and will not like (aka no loan) that its coming from another loan.

I have a buddy who owns a pizza place and I talked to him about a co-promotion.  

The seller needs to know that you are making this offer for a short term profit, that you have the right to market the property by private or public treaty to find an assignee, and that if an assignee is not found before the prescribed settlement date that this offer is subject to cancellation.I like to get the seller 100% on my side as a co-seller, a shared equity (know as a Hybrid).

I was living in West LA but working in Palmdale, and I had a co-worker I was always visiting out in Newhall and I even lived in the Residence Inn there for awhile when I first moved out to CA with my job :)Welcome to the REI crew!
