That means a column on a spreadsheet for each property (tax number) and a comprehensive list of items on the row side of the spreadsheet.I want to look at what my exit strategy is for each building.I want to know why he is offering seller financing and of course if it's a fair price, has title reports and is done through escrow.I don't need a real estate agent, but I would have inspections done to look for something I night miss.I want to know if buying the lot and selling off a portion makes sense.

Several years ago, even with high cash flow from a business, I felt fairly locked out of the places I wanted to purchase due to endlessly rising prices and rates that required constant underwriting revisions to the point where it wasn't worth the time expense.

I pull my own permits, hire my own subs and do a fair amount t myself.

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

I FAIRLY WELL OFF AND DOING FINE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I AM GOING TO SPEND $100,000 MORE FOR A STEEL BUILT HOME JUST TO SAY "HEY LOOK I PURCHESED THIS IN AMERICA AND GOT TOOK".

It is fairly convenient to ski areas for winter sports when rentals are in higher demand.
