It's one of the few things you can't see during a showing/ visual inspection and I've seen issues up to $100k with sewer lines so it's worth the $150 to send a camera in and see what's going on.

I have a self check-in listing on Peerspace.

You don't realize the full gravity when you are 20..But it would be less awkward for young people if it were a legal requirement to sign a prenup, just check the boxes you want, maybe even go through some education before. 

Not so much for step by step guidance but for "check in" to make sure there's something I may be missing (or have incorrect). 

You can also check meetup.com or search facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Check with a few local credit unions as they usually have the best HELOC offerings.

Do you check your house value every day?

LMHA gets a staff of a couple dozen people and a big budget to be bureaucratic, the tenant gets cost effective safe housing, and we get steady rent checks)Does anyone else have these issues???

On top of that if you can find local investors that would give great insights.Section 8 has stringent requirements so it would be important to check off the inspection list as soon as you can.

@Nathan Gesner Thanks very much for the information...I never would have thought to check on Etsy.
