If there's anything unusual about the property, the required downpayment usually goes up. 

My biggest or most unusual problems were: abandoned vehicles, a person escaped from a mental institution, tenants with pet rattlesnakes that escaped their container, a round trip visit to the dentist for a wisdom tooth removal, a one way bus ticket from Kansas to Georgia, cashing $25,000 worth of checks each week for a group of guys from out of state, etc.  

She has helped me figure out the best types of insurance for rentals and flips alike, including unusual situations and is almost always the least expensive to boot. 

Holding back rents is not that unusual.

That is not unusual, but lack of willingness to tell you exactly what is lacking - rather than just deny you - is not a good business practice.

House Price: 163KRent: $1,350Mortgage + Insurance + Property Tax: $940Property management: $135My numbers thus far: If all goes to plan, and there aren't any unusual costs, I will cash flow slightly above what MI quoted me.

@Marco PadillaIt's honestly not that unusual for two title companies to disagree.

I used and set up LLC's, S Corp's, and even C Corps to conduct business.Nothing unusual, for LLC's, you select how you're to be taxed, so I selected to be taxed as a partnership.

It was not unusual after move out a tenant might leave something behind, either in the apartment or in the locker. 

The belief that the IRS will accept a few hundred dollars for the removal of a lien in which significant equity exists is based on a fantasy of urban myths or examples in which very unusual circumstances existed.In most cases, after a long drawn out process, the IRS may accept less than face value of the lien if the property sells for somewhere in the general range of its appraised value.
