You want to know the current condition and life expectancy of all major components and appliances for each property.  

They'll be able to provide insight on properties you're interested in and help you understand the best/worst neighborhoods.Really understand how to evaluate deals and calculate cash flow is another major component.

In most cases, you'll save money, time, and aggravation trying to figure out the intricacies of the Internal Revenue Code on your own.  

Hi all,Quick back story - first time home buyer a few months ago in Milwaukee (big thanks to @Marcus Auerbach). Longer post on that process once the house projects are finished up. Anyway, my property assessment incre...

It was 3 or 4 days of internal pointless BS; we were otherwise ahead of schedule so it closed on time with zero days to spare (I like to be a little early when possible).

Up to 80% ltv depending on the market, 30 year am, potentially an I/o component again depending on the deal.

But I now plan to start here for sure and will be prepared to study up on each and every market component you mentioned. 

I find that most folks who put an action plan together, neglect to dig deep enough to discover and articulate their why which is probably the most important component of all this planning. 

Certainly can adjust the purchase/offer price, but that gives me a simple, internal comparison to consider.

I've addressed concern over the master bath because water continues to run internally and hissing sounds ensue for 5-10 minutes after water is shut off.
