Nope, one step from a bottle of pills.

If the third floor unit is a one bedroom, you will probably never need to delead it as the likelihood of anyone with a child renting it are slim.

Overall the prices are high and there are slim pickings on good deals so it's not just you.  

They are already loosing the home so the chances are that you will recover any cost is pretty slim.

But I personally run my business where the potential of that happening are slim.

Aside from that, the chances of you and the homeowner, both of whom have never done a short sale, getting one done by yourself, are slim at best.

Leave that up to your lawyer.If I could avoid giving my last name or address to my tenants and act "only" as property manager, I would do it.The odds of your tenants attacking you is slim.

The chances of this are slim. 

their is practically a whole quarter of the town where its very hard to retail a home, your pretty much just going to be selling to buy and hold investors, and our local buildings inspectors are rediculous, then on top of all that, as mentioned above there is 4 big wholesalers in this market, two that were mentioned above, then two that dont really advertise their deals, all of which are very experienced and seem to have unlimited marketing budgets..Anythings possible, but not being in this market is going to be a huge disadvantage, as the margins are just too slim..Add all that to tons of newbie investors who over pay for every "Internet auction" "hud" and "tax sale" "craigslist" type deals ever, makes it a hard market to be repeatedly successful in.. 95% of the deals I look at, Shawn or Wade (the two guys companies mentioned above) have already looked at them, are at the property when I am, or are on their way) they're advertising is top notch and they don't miss much., a lot of times it ends up being easier buying from them, as your time is worth something and when your getting 1/10th the leads they are, and they're getting all the leads you do, it's hard to compete.
