Hi folks,Been lingering around for a bit and find the forums quite interesting.I've got a potential issue with a house I'm trying to buy and I wanted to see if there are professional or even semi-professional thoughts on the subject.The house is a moderately great deal.

Because they're at least semi-desperate to sell a property.

My wife and I spent 10 years in management at two of the biggest tech companies in the world, and semi-retired last year to start a family.

It would usually take a score of 580+ to get an even semi decent rate (unless you had a very, very low LTV)

I would recommend marketing materials that are either free, cheap or semi-permanent during the winter.

I like the idea of doing business with people who are at least semi-local.

It is a semi-automatic, 8 shot pistol, double action on the first shot.

They are semi-retired now and live off the cash flow from their houses and a seasonal business they run in MT.I considered investing in RE many times over the years, just never could convince myself to get off the fence.Finally bought a rental to rent to a family member, the next year I bought another one, again to rent to a family member.Family is still in one of my rentals, the other property is now rented to an unrelated tenant.

My premiums would be paid semi-annually or annually.
