You are right, guys, it is one thing to talk about it, but another thing to actually go and do it :D Well, I am going to put the offer in today.

I had to submit estimates from licensed and bonded contractors, and I could not dwell in the property.

This guy was referred by the www.naeba.orgI checked him/his company out on the BBB.org & did not see any negativity.I'm looking at a property (co-op) in Queens New York.Its $159,000 & $855 in maintenance including gas/electric.After meeting with this gentleman (he was very late):nono:, I explained to him that I'm was looking to situate my parents in more safe dwelling as I leave for school.He was somewhat unprepared for our interview stating "research was done on the property but I left it home".

You will need one egress window for each dwelling space, ie bedroom or living room.

For instance, I am an advocate for finding properties that are instantly more profitable, but thats always outside of my own city, relying on property managers for the day to day maintenance.

I was told that any loan on a 1-4 family dwelling falls under the new law regardless of financing method.

I would ask for a cash concession from the seller to cover at least 6 months of the rent she is supposed to be paying and I would have the notice to pay or quit ready to go the instant the closing happens.

Yes, it's possible to be creative and keep all of your "own money" in the bank, but turning 17k into 42k almost instantly is creative enough for me.

Instant cash in my pocket.Who knows maybe hes just a terrible landlord.
