Either call your landlord and voice your concerns and see if they would address the issue or simply go to your local hardware store ( Lowe’s or Home Depot) and get a small piece of thin plywood or some other material to place over the hole that would still allow the lines to come through.

When I verified her employment, she works at a grocery store that I think her husband or family owns.My spidey senses are telling me she is renting my condo for her daughter....I'm really on the fence about renting to the applicant...what would you do?

That seems crazy but it makes sense because I was fresh off of finishing my Master's Degree in Real Estate Development around that time.

I would never use a national resource for title searches unless it was a national title underwriter. all my note transactions are done by the local title company  No national vendors all fresh title I know most don't want to do this but I am not going to be that guy that gets a client into a bad title situation.. so we are over kill for sure as we order a new escrow on each note assignment.. but hey better safe than sorry when it comes to our investors dollars.

Hello BP family glad to be here. I’m a green newbie to investment RE, but have owned my own home for approximately 9 years. After several years on the bench I’m ready to get in the game and pursue my first rental prop...

The area is up and coming and it looks as if it is set up better to be turned into a commercial property due to all the new stores in area and I do not see any residential homes in a 2 mi radius of the property, there are homes around but they are pretty far apart.

If that doesnt keep me busy enough, i own a small town liquor store. 

Store front, office only, delivery bay?

Money is a store of productivity from which others benefit, including you. 

We just dissolved a small business as well, so this is a fresh start for us.
