It takes to long which is a problem, but I cannot write $10-20k checks to have someone else do it, nor would I be able to continue to buy houses if I was paying contractors.

One thing I add is you want to write down the type of landlords (owners) you do NOT want to work with.

We have unrepresented buyers come to our listings asking us to write their offers all the time.

They must understand the "subject to" arrangement, including the risks associated with the due-on-sale clause and the fact that the mortgage remains in the original borrower's name.It’s advisable to have all agreements and disclosures in writing to avoid future disputes.Buyer’s Financial Stability:Ensure the new buyer is financially stable and capable of making the mortgage payments.

It's hard to find a home or an investment that is less than or close to $100 a square foot anywhere in the country so the more I write about this, the more I am taking myself into this...9 million visitors cannot be wrong.

That's when the DIY craze took off, folks started writing books, and it was the land of milk and honey.  

Hotel/Motel, Condo, Apartments all have had substantial rates because a lot of companies have either stopped writing the business or non-renewed it and the companies that will still write it have to take premium because of the risk they're taking on.I know that doesn't help you at all but my advice would be if you have an independent agent who you trust and like and believe they're doing the best they can for you stick with them and let them work all the markets for you.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Proper identification of tenants isalso needed if you want any chance of having local code enforcement write tickets against the tenant and not the owner.5.

Please get educated before you start writing checks.What concerns me is you started this post by talking about how you are jobless.
