32k or even 42k on a half million dollar house doesn't sound all that good.What's your projected cash flow after all your expenses including a likely higher mortgage payment than the current owners?

Portfolio = Income derived from financial instruments like dividends (including REITs), interest, royalties, and capital gains.Mostly income w/out loss potential, and favorable tax rates.Cap losses may offset cap gains w up to $3,000 loss.

But I agree with @Stuart Udis - when making offers on occupied rental property, I always review the Financials including the RR & T12.

The agreement stipulates:"The owners agree, that no water shall be used for commercial purpose, but only for their private domestic use including vegetable gardens and livestock maintenance."

What should the "ideal" comprehensive check list include?

We have a savings account where we split up into different buckets (from our w2 and passive income) and one bucket is for real estate and when we have enough to acquire another asset we will consider it.I am not a fan of borrowing 100% of the transaction costs including closing costs as it will be extremely difficult to make money many times on those types of deals.

The original deed listed multiple owners and percentages including her 8% interest, and now myself and the other owners want to sell the property---how do we get this retitled into my account (or my name) in order to facilitate the sale?

Depends on really what you are looking for:-Speed - some HMLS can go "no appraisal" so can close very quickly and beat cash offers if you are in a competitive market to buy-Interest Rates - can range anywhere from around 8% to 13% (same with "points") but not usually as huge of a concern for flippers since the terms are so short-Leverage - depending on your risk appetite / capital - this is also a top concern for some (almost always over and above rates/fees) can see anywhere from around 80% LTC to even mid 90s LTC (including 100% of rehab budget)

The plumber’s report indicates that the leak may have been caused by an overflowing tub or sink upstairs, but the tenant in that bedroom denies any such incident.As a result, I now have substantial expenses for the plumber and restoration company, including drywall repairs, painting, texturing, and reinstalling electricals.

For probably $100 you can get many books, including J.
