Congratulations on the duplex -My investor clients have acquired several multi-family investment properties locally in the market I operate in Northwest Indiana - Figure out your personal investment objective for the next 4 years and align yourself with the next property that make sense in this current market environment-

It wasn’t a massive deal—our expected assignment fee was $10,000—but when you’re growing a business, every opportunity matters.Everything seemed to be moving smoothly until the title search revealed a major roadblock: the mortgage discharge couldn’t be cleared because the person who needed to sign off was deceased.

Are you referring to personal losses or other people had losses?

Insurance liability, I personally know 2 families that lost their children in home pools.

Apparently, the person I am under contract with was managing the estate of the actual owner who recently died.  

We make people take photos of themselves holding their ID and then I also meet them in person for the showing - at least for my units on the NW side of Chicago.I've never heard of these testers, but I am not surprised. 

In my personal experiences a lot of structural items start with bad drainage.

I have personally worked with @Wale Lawal and he is awesome. 

Any recommendations on Houston REI groups that meet in person or virtually?

Personally CA scares me.
