I think skip/fall is a big risk with this property and I should not rent it out without fixing this problem thanks,Anne There are "bends" in downspouts so you can avoid drips on steps.

I put my first property in Bend, OR with Avantstay and the number one thing I have to share is: they take very good care of the property. 

It's not as if you can get a high appraisal and they bend federal loan guidelines for you. 

What's the purpose of a lease if we keep bending the rules? 

I dont plan on buying or bidding on anything at all, rather I'd like to see what happens, how it happens and maybe more importantly WHO's making it happen.Im really very new, havent got a deal yet, but Im thinking it couldnt hurt to meet some cash buyers just to introduce myself and maybe get their contact info for future reference.I live in the Houston area and there are 2 auctions I know of; 1 for Harris county and the other for Fort Bend county.

Anyone telling you they flip 120 houses a year in the IE is taking a big bong hit, then telling you to bend over so they can blow a lot of smoke up your.... 

They are bending the rules meant to protect the public.

@Brian NaumannI had read several posts in the thread before I realized that you are right here in Mishawaka.As @Jay Hinrichs said, there is plenty of low hanging fruit right here in our area.Hopefully you found a good mentor who will point you in the right direction.South Bend has a lot of cheap C class and below properties, so does Mishawaka to a lesser extent.

So, this is a really busy intersection in South Bend, Indiana.
