What is your cost of capital, what is the effective rate with PMI, the trick is to reduce your cost of capital and then manage your use of funds by examining your opportunity costs.

I don't know if you are under contract on this or just examining it now, but I think you could probably find a higher COC return if that is what you are targeting.

I’m happy to announce that after a LONG 2.5 year process, as of July 25th, I passed my 2nd NRC Exam in my long career in nuclear power.So here’s my story in purchasing my first duplex…Around June or July 2015 I was trying to figure out how to buy a property outside of my SDIRA to increase my personal income.

But I thought the whole reason for inspection period, even if the contract is “as is” is to examine if everything is up to par during the inspection. 

Insurance is going to be your main issue, as it is costly and having been on three boards, we were risk averse to changing it or losing it as I recall insurers bringing up details from bbq to pets, etc. and when you have a claim, really it seemed a struggle, and if they can get out of paying they will..even got dropped once...Maybe have the master policy professionally examined to see what is allowed and, worst case, explore if you can get legal help to work out a mechanism to hold the association harmless (be it your own policy, plus umbrella, and maybe indemnify the association for any claim)....some great advice here and some firms may be more willing to write the policy.

Just last year, Forbes Magazine examined pet friendly rentals in the top 25 markets, and determined that Seattle’s pet friendly rental market is the second best in the US.

There is no need to examine the title before the mortgage foreclosure.

Well this gives me hope for my examining skills because I thought the same things through the pictures about what needs to be done.

If so, you can study the materials on your own and take the examination when you please without satisfying the hourly requirement.Sorry, I took an in person accelerated course in the winter months so I can't help you with online courses.

Like you said though, if they place a tenant with no rental history or who's guarantor family member has an unstable rental history, or if the required qualifications and investigations are sub-par, IE the PM didn't bother to investigate rental history beyond the applicant's current residence or didn't take into account that they just started a new job in a different industry making 3x what they previously did for the past 10 years - then those are reasons to be upset.But yet again, if a landlord has to take the time to deeply examine an applicant beyond the PM saying, "yes, the applicant meets our agreed-upon criteria and here is the backup", you are working with the wrong PM because that's a big part of what a PM does.
