You will be required to get a foundation inspection report on top of an appraisal and you are required to pay for both.That is why I said make sure you do your research because if you pay for an appraisal or foundation inspection report and its not within guide lines you will have just wasted anywhere from $650 to $1000.00 non refundable.  

BP wont let me include contact info so you can PM me for that as well.

Really surprisingly bad reporting.  

This includes trips to properties for evaluations, trips to Home Depot, etc. 

So, there is even more risk.The things that you can do, include being properly capitalized, not be greedy, (in whichever way that may be defined in the county you are buying), know solicitation laws, know Dodd-Frank, the Consumer Protection Act, the S.A.F.E.

Does that include utility service to the house, a driveway, septic and well? 

There are many service companies that will manage seller finance notes including the payments, escrow accounts, and documentation. 

Reporting is basic, but it tracks all rent inflows/outflows. 

We are in 11 markets, including Huntsville and would be happy to set up a call to talk over some options. 

As well as I just launched my starter supply and Bath product campaign on my current properties and will include it with new ones.
