Here are some additional things to check for from an Insurance perspective:- Knob & Tube or Aluminum wiring- Asbestos tile, siding or wrapping on pipes- Lead paint (if the building was built prior to 1980 you may need a Lead Safe certification)- flat roof- tenants with pets (find out breed of dogs)- cracked or damaged driveways or walkways- Stairs with out handrails- trees over hanging the property- in ground tanks (active or inactive)- two means of egress from all units- if smoke, CO, fire detectors are hardwired or batterySome of these will cause insurance companies not to write the coverage while others may turn up as recommendations that you will have to fix.   

What I mean by this is I substituted the real follow up action steps I should be taking and used education as a crutch.I was so afraid to "fail" that I thought I could mask my own inaction by using educational spending as a salve.I don't mean to degrade education but its a fine balance between educating to a point that you can take positive action towards a specific goal and "paralysis by analysis".This is what I propose:1.

AKA the recommendation does good, ethical, fairly priced work and the agent has thoroughly investigated the work they do (checked references, seen them in action, checked for licenses/insurance, etc.)I have received recommendations from agents in the past where it's clear they made the recommendation SOLELY for the kickback and of course that's infuriating.

Club in Action in Burbank just had a guy speak on Land Trusts last night.

Does anyone invest in Active Senior Living that are all in a large building with common area dining and gathering areas, etc.? 

@Marc ScherzingerIt would be really helpful to have more information on his current loan1) monthly payment2) market rent in the area3) fixed or adjustableTo determine possible courses of action (if profitable) or inaction (if not profitable).It may turn out that the best advice is to throw this one back & continue fishing elsewhere.

Inactive Houston, TEXAS agent looking for a broker to work under.

As soon as I graduated from West Virginia University, I got my Realtors license, which I currently still have but it is in an inactive status.

Any in-ground tanks (active or inactive)2.

So simply getting a licensee to negotiate the loan may not always be compliant if they do not conduct the work properly under the licensed company.In California:As a salesperson, once your employment with a properly licensed MLO real estate broker is terminated, your MLO status will be changed from active to inactive and you will have to obtain a MLO license from the DBO in order to continue to work for a CRMLA or CFLL company.
