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.

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

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

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

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. 

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

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

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

Networking is the key to growth...I am always down for coffee if you want to connect in person.
