Except for the high taxes, defund the police, hostility towards landlords, violence, cities that are out of control and it gets a might cold, it's a fine state I'm sure. 

In general, the ones to avoid are the ones that: Don't allow financing or a finance contingency (it can be a good indication they are selling above market value) Don't allow for your own independent property inspection Are not realistic with their pro forma's (i.e. they don't include vacancy or maintenance projections or use unrealistically low vacancy factors) Require you to pay for any renovation upfront Sell only in cheap. low end neighborhoods Don't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classification Don't have consistent rehab standards for all properties Don't provide a scope of work for the property Can't provide references of repeat investors Require you to close before a tenant is in placeFeel free to contact me if you'd like any help.

I’m 24, engaged, baby due next month, but super interested in real estate and currently working as a finance manager at a dealer here in Wisconsin.

I am not familiar with Streitwise, so I won't comment.Reits are a fine option with limited money to put down.

Your lender could just be trying to keep it simple to ease their own workload, but if there is a final credit pull at before closing, and it doesn't align with what was pulled at initial underwriting, it can mess up the closing.I have had a bank contact me because I opened a different business credit card during a refi, and there were several pages of disclosures and affidavits I needed to sign a few days before closing.

@Robert Trevor the last update on the ADU Ordinance that I've seen since it was introduced on 05/20 and says it will be up for a final vote in June or July, and take affect on 08/01.

There’s a fine line here.

They have a right to a final walk-through of the property; I would never close without doing so. 

And they are likely to go through it with a fine-tooth comb at the moment, as lenders have been tightening their belts in light of the looming possible economic downturn. 

This is a fine place to suggest a change.
