Good question, TECHNICALLY that should all be counted in your DTI. 

I didn't wire his fake title company any money so he didn't technically scam me.

I have a very similar property, it's technically 2 parcels together with a 2 family in front and an 800 Sqft ADU cottage in the back, they share same driveway and I have parking in the front. 

Because technically if you do the work yourself, you are not "hiring a contractor" so I wonder if that gets you around it. 

And it appears that the amount of work is not high enough to hire a full time person.Does anyone have some good best-practice or ideas to show how you manage the work load and staffing for similar scenarios?

You must be a lawyer and the most you can charge then is 25%, not to be more than $1,000.YUP OLD OLD information being regurgitated for the new investor who does not realize that so many counties frown on this while technically possible to do in some areas.. 

But frankly, the only people who are losing now are the ones who are trying to time the market.So, I don't think it's just a weird sales tactic to say it’s a good time to buy, I think it's reflective of the fact that it IS technically always good to buy… as long as it’s a payment that YOU can reasonably expect to pay over the next few years.The reality is, it’s a good time when YOU are ready to take action!

But they’ve asked to come up with a solution since the loan isn’t technically assumable - something equivalent to acquiring the LLC that holds the property. 

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, so it is easy to find.If you have technical issues, send an email to [email protected] and someone will help you.

Hey Ross,For question 1: Technically the legal definition of "as-is" means after the close of escrow, there is no warranty provided by the seller.
