Yes there are some groups you can join that may be low cost and its not one person who is leading the pack of chickens with their heads cut off - but what this shows is you do not need to spend $10,000 or $20,000 +  when there is so much free information out there.

I know a couple that if you even sound like you're wanting to contribute to thier little domain, they will cut the deal for spite!

Once recorded, the owner/seller of the property will not be able to close on the property without addressing this issue, thereby blocking them from cutting you out and selling to another party.Other than that, keep in mind it is VERY difficult to win in court for specific performance to force the seller to sell.Good luck, and keep moving forward!

I see a lot of narrative around, "cut your costs, eliminate unnecessary expenses" etc.

For example, in 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act temporarily changed the rules for investment interest deductions.

For the existing, they said due to budget cuts, they aren't raising ANY rents.

It isn't as simple or clear cut as you might think.

From my understanding at this point that should be safe indefinitely.The issues with Aluminum wiring are a bit more complex than the FPE panel, which is cut and dry (replace asap).

Would it be better to just wait for rate cuts then jump in. 

At the last meeting they are still expecting 3 rate cuts this year.
