Wasting our VA benefits on a bad property is actually my biggest fear, which is why I'm not sure if we should purchase a home at our next location.

So, I got to help a family figure things out, I got to help them reorganize and get out of a massive hole, while I make money as well...Thats example is probably the biggest reason why pre-foreclosures for me.  

The biggest blessings I’ve received are the ones I didn’t work for and the ones I never saw coming.

If it appears they have moved improperly, it might be a good idea to get the assistance of a lawyer.Unfortunately, you have learned the hard way the biggest weakness of condos and townhomes for investing: The HOA board can dismantle your investment returns with a simple vote.

California offers equity building, potential appreciation, and stability, but high entry costs and market volatility are downsides.

Its hard to believe that any syndication would buy a property where they don't hedge the downside by buying right, or have a plan to increase rents with the market over a period of x years.

I can never know for sure if the pipes or wiring was replaced (my biggest concern), I don't think an inspector can actually tell as well since you have to tear down the entire house.

They do have multiple pets, which is a downside, but they would pay a non-refundable pet fee as well.Has anyone rented to anyone in this situation?

Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $24,000 16 unit good bones building bought at an amazing price as an off market deal since it had many downsides but the downsides are just temporary.

I have been trying to get as much education as possible buying notes and selling them. seems like the biggest problems with sellers(lenders) on commercial property comes done to the real FMV on a commercial property.
