I'm not looking for a lottery ticket that will pay millions, just to keep steadily buying dollar bills for fifty cents and waiting.

Ignorance is bliss (and profitable).Jim, if a turn key company is offering a 1 year warranty, it's usually through a 3rd party which are really only helpful for big ticket items.

Now, I have to E-Mail my new Russian girlfriend, she's a 26 year old model and needs only ten thousand to get out of her modeling contract and get a ticket to come marry me!

I've sent Blair Halver an email and submitted a ticket on their Zendesk support site.

If you're a new investor and something like the HVAC goes out it could cost $5k, if you only have $50 in cashflow every month you'll never get ahead enough to have a buffer for big ticket items that could happen before you expect them to.

When I fly out to visit my properties the plane ticket costs the same whether it's to see 1 property or 30+.  

The reason I made that known was to point out that they apparently did a lot of work on the house, but missed some big ticket items that could keep the house from selling at all. 

Even if the HOA is supposed to cover the costs of certain big ticket items you cannot always assume that they have the funds to do so.

Consider asking for some special terms such as a partial VTB (borrow 60% from commercial lender and 20% from the seller), or consider asking the seller to have some work done on some bigger ticket items (such as new roof or boiler), so that cost is built into your purchase price and your loan basis.

ah OK I know a small local bank that might be just the ticket then. thank you!
