The older the home the more difficult (and therefore expensive) it's likely to be to restore a home to pre-loss condition2.

Paying off the notes, working to pre-emptively make repairs to capex items before they fail or become a major issue think roof, HVAC, and foundation.

Never once did anyone from his staff call and ask why I wasn’t getting on the calls that I paid to be on if there were problems etc etc.

Quote from @Juan Perez: Greetings,My first home was paid off over a year ago, and I am now living in my recently purchased 2nd home.

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

Paid in February but since that February only paid January rent he got another late fee for February. 

In Florida where I live that amount is the first $50,000 for a married couple are exempt.So to put all that into action, let's say the previous owner paid $100,000 for the property 20 years ago and lived in the property.  

From experience, I’d recommend getting pre-approved, improving your debt-to-income ratio if needed, and researching local assistance programs.

In my market, I only have one vendor qualified for appliance warranty work, and the warranty companies paid him half his standard fee for each service call.
