Thanks for the insight, I will surely pass this info along to him.Come on folks, its the slow season let hear more about Spirits!

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Why people get pets and then expect a rental  Regarding petscreening for no-pet properties - I can't comment, since all my rentals are animal-friendly (for extra fee and rent).  

I know cook county charges extra for their records too and they may not include them. 

You will need to find an opportunity and check with multiple sources about ARV, then get multiple bids from folks recommended by someone that you are doing business with and trust.

They keep the late fee because they performed extra work to collect your rent and the late fee.

But to your point, the extra fees might be because the loan is small.

I'm willing to overlook the nonsense and see the value of folks like @Jay Hinrichs that genuinely want to help and have nothing to sell.

Using borrowed money is going to make it difficult because you're putting extra pressure on whatever you buy, and with prices and rates high it's going to be tough to get a return for years or even decades.  

Every state has a unique set of laws and regulations regarding the foreclosure process, so your ability to succeed will depend largely on where you're operating.Also, all three of these require advanced skills and background, so I wouldn't necessarily start here.That said, if you do then be sure to get top-notch training and complete deal documentation from folks who have seen at least one full real estate cycle.Rather than specializing so soon in your real estate career, I would instead recommend just getting in front of as many real estate owners with problems.Just getting really good at talking (and listening!)
