Nuts for the stand have come loose over the years.

And I also find it ill advised to potentially lose earnest money and definitely loose Due Diligence money on a deal I have zero idea how to close.Any other questions?

The excess inventory will burn off slowly and we will have 96% occupancy rates again in the near future.

One example recently, I had an issue with a tenant breaking multiple house rules (smoking, party, extra guests, late check out) and causing damage and excessive clean up.

But if you're talking about a couple of single families or smaller multi-families, I would say that having an LLC for each one is excessive and probably unnecessary.  

But as @Etienne Martel said loosing $1800 is better than $10,000.Walk away from this deal.

Duplex 2-4 unit Advantages - better cash flow, less stress for the owner, one tenant can pay the payment while you turn the other unit, gives more income streams, if you own 2 duplexes that is 4 units, if you own two SFR it’s 2 units, if one is vacant and you loose half your income.

All caulking edges exposed to view shall not vary more then 1/8” in any direction and shall be free of excessive lipping or inconsistencies.”  

@Adam Adams3 appartment buildings and 6 houses with 40k in hand121k gross income at say 10% annual that's 1,2m worth of real estate That's a 30:1 leverage...or 97% LTVI want the name of your lenderHonestly after the subprime crisis mess, i thought they would ban that kind of excessive leverage but it seems it is back to business as usual

My initial thought was to set up a master lease option until the mortgage is paid but 15 years seems excessive.
