Did lots of exhaustive research and really like the PM company.

The child that lived there wrote on a couple walls so the family room needed repaint, they never opened windows while showering ruining the finish on the cabinets and causing mold problems ruining the bathroom paint.This is an old updated 1940 home with no exhaust fans in the bath or kitchen so common since says  a window needs to be open when showering or cooking nut they were not.I documented everything with pictures and I have a letter from the flooring company stating what they saw.

Or use land trusts.Umbrella insurance will kick in once the regular policy coverage is exhausted.

Its exhausting…..6.

I am having difficulty discerning whether I need to be patient and wait longer or if I just haven’t exhausted all the potential resources.

Comparing lenders could be very exhausting for an investor due to that fact lenders vary on almost everything from the type deals they fund to how much they will fund and rates and terms.

Part of me wants a single-family house but that also means I will exhaust all my savings and take out a mortgage. 

Linval - thanks so much for your exhaustive guide for beginners on the forum!

The owner/renter ratio can be key for financing and other factors.Maybe your spell check changed "low" prices to "life" and I think you run the numbers just like you would with any other rental.But then also try and analyze all the other factors that come with common ownership (probably too numerous to list exhaustively).My own experience is that condos can be easy to manage (you can attract a high quality renters, for example, to nice condos) and simple to maintain (no exterior maintenance), but the dues (and assessments) can gobble up cash flow. 

All of my negotiators recommend a deal after an exhaustive financial analysis and after verifying that all the requirements of a short sale are met (Like being listed with an agent, executing a 4506T, providing a hardship letter, bank statements, tax returns, Arms Length affidavit, budget, etc..) and then signing off and verifying all of the requirements are met so that when its all done, a subsequent audit from an outside entity or regulatory agent will confirm that it was done properly and NOT just because some talented negotiator thinks it should have been done.
