I really want to be sitting down with her...well, yesterday so I can get my inspector in there ASAP....but, an introduction by Tuesday is my goal.I've seen posts about how to locate property owners who are MIA...I will shamelessly share for your entertainment, and shock...I am determined, so yes, you will be shocked...how I have gone about locating my friend who I call Wald-a.

From my perspective i'm already doing all the comps in the area etc got my super awesome inspector to check the property and a very good lawyer who helps as well.Market is getting a bit warmer and im just trying to figure out if i can sweeten the deal for the selling side. and if i can what are the drawbacks if any

I am an HUD inspector so I get all over the placeI don't want to rent this one.

The damages decreased after that.Another tip is to get to know your assigned inspector.

Just so happens, the inspector they chose was quite a bit more thorough than mine.

for a newbie ..the best property is the one that you can access as many times as possible before you close. having the property under contract and "acting" as an owner, contractors will talk to you ..you can get bids, quotes, do inspections, termite letters, radon tests, mold test, etc ...imagine bringing army of inspectors when an owner still lives there ..not possible. you control purchase price ...so make sure you factor all things you need to change, add, update into ur costs ...u need to discover as much stuff as possible. once u do 10 flips ..probably short 10 minute walk will be enough to get u rough idea ..but by that time ...inspect, inspect, inspect

I've gotten 3 deals accepted because I offered over asking all cash to get the offer accepted, then when I had the home inspector do his thing I found tons of repairs, seller was looking at me knowing I could write him a check for the house if he would come down to my price, he knew he had to do all the repairs if I walked away....so he came down. he was a little miffed/pissed, but he didn't have to take the offer, and the price I offered was fair.

Check your local laws I guess, if You dont need to have it notarized, dont do it, it wastes time.About they key, just ask the seller how your inspectors and partners can access the property with no problems.

Performed by HUD-approved fee inspectors or on the HUD-accepted staff of the DE lender.

This is a deal but you would need to find out your repair cost and what other problems that you may run into.So before you go to the bank I think that you should take $350.00 and get a "Inspection" done because with old homes come old problems a licencsed inspector can come out and give you a complete overview of what is wrong with the property.After that is done then have a contrctor come out and bid on your rehab job so that you can accurately estimate your cost of repairs.But good job on your first time out.GET THAT MONEY MAN!
