What was taking 6 to 8 weeks for septic permit approvals is now less than a week.

They did send me the final rental payments early, but they’re still holding onto the tenant deposits.Two weeks ago, I asked when and how they would send me the deposits.

If he expects you to accept rent payments 3 weeks late every month--will you just do that with no repercussion because he "expects" you to (???)

I am in the process of settlement on my 1st property in 1 week. i have a 5% down conv loan thru a credit union bank. this a duplex and is a row house. i plan to live in one unit and rent out the other. the seller is also selling the duplex property next to it.

I am won't buy anything this year but rather next year so I am wondering if it makes sense to approach an agent or a lender months in advance, weeks in advance or only when I really already saw something I want to buy.I don't want to waste anybody's time and I am not yet sure what the best course is.

Of course, I'm out the deductible (2k).Incredibly, one week later, another 6ft diameter oak fell across the neighbor's front yard (this time, it damaged HIS house) and took down the power lines to my rental property which ended up causing just under $2000 of electrical work and tree removal expenses for me. 

Renting in these areas with a roommate or two will likely be less expensive than PITI in the 'less fun' suburbs.If you do decide buying when you move down here, I'd take a few trips and spend a week or so down here to help narrow the search.

The all-in podcast this past week just had a great discussion on this topic

The first week they sent me a few properties on the MLS but since then it has just been me sending them properties I'd like to see and them arranging the showings.

-We are closing on a primary residence in a couple of weeks that has a cottage on it that we will begin short/mid term renting upon close.
