Been flipping homes for 2 years now and the inventory of distressed homes seems to getting harder and harder to find.Think of getting into the buisness of multi pal family dwellings for income.

More-or-less a reliable instant appraisal system that a 95%+ accurate would be pretty nice.

She would be at work and no one should be home.Here is the KY Statuate:383.615 Access. (1) A tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors. (2) A landlord may enter the dwelling unit without consent of the tenant in case of emergency. (3) A landlord shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant.

Installing a diverter in the water tank is a welcome asset, considering up to 27 percent of water in the toilet tank empties into the bowl.A diverter is a simple fix for this problem and, depending on the type of toilet, can be your best option.A sub-meter in every dwelling unit can spot high usage from leaking faucets and running toilets.

@Leeroy AyalaThere are way to many companies to list, but the gist is, you are looking for a dwelling fire policy (dp1, dp2, and dp3) DP3 is the most robust of the 3.  

It has one dwelling now but is zoned R3.

Is it wiser to purchase a primary dwelling and then after we save up again purchase an investment property or would it be more prudent to purchase an investment property and continue renting until the income from the new property accumulates?
