I'm trying to grow my portfolio, so my money is spent either on new properties, or upgrading existing one's. 

The existing interest rates at the time4.

There are DSCR programs that will allow the use of a higher existing lease so long as you can show receipt of the rents for the last 3 months as well as a copy of the original deposit.

Those issues were likely pre-existent and lip stick was applied to get a tenant in.   

You have to work to find them but they exist and they have been named in the BP forums as well.

You'd only need to bring the difference between the balance on his loan and what you agree to purchase the property for and your share of closing costs.The term is "Subject to" which is short for Subject To Existing Liens, Deed of Trust, etc.

It's not for everybody... that is why property management companies exist.

Virtually no changes.Do you think buyers agents don't exist in the 19 states that already requieed buyer agency agreements?
