I’ve been reading extensively on strategies to minimize tenant vacancies through smart investments, and I’ve come to realize that many other factors play a crucial role when managing rental properties.

Unless you have extensive experience representing yourself, I recommend using an agent.

For illustration purposes if I were given the opportunity to finance my construction projects at 8O% LTC full recourse or 70% partial recourse I will select the higher levered recourse option because have confidence in my projects knowing the debt is sub 60% LTV and want the benefit of leverage. 

We are currently looking at a HUD home in Georgia - I have a couple of questions and can’t seem to find a definitive answer - The home is currently in the OO listing period - our plan would be to buy the home doing extensive renovations (the home is in a “Historical” area so renovations have to be approved) once completed we plan on living there full time - it could take ip to a year to complete or longer I don’t know  - as I see it the OO designation is to be the OO for a min of 12 months - is this after the home has been renovated or after you close on the home - though the house could probably technically be lived in now it does have some water and roof damage and needs complete redo of electrical and plumbing - for me to deem it safe - so not really livable by normal standards - but no way it would be livable in just a couple of months - any thoughts or an actual answer to the OO rules 

The SEC claims Fossum misappropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars from the funds by living rent-free in a fund-owned home and having the funds pay for extensive international travel and his federal taxes.

I have a property under contract and need to know could I get an extension with HUD if I’m an investor?

When I'm selecting an insurance provider, what sort of things should I be looking for?

I work extensively with expats and they have had a lot of success investing in the US.

@Mic SalvadorThis can vary widely depending on what market you in, how extensive the rehab is, and how you are financing. 

Purchase price: $55,000 Cash invested: $110,000 Sale price: $205,000 This was a 1950 raised home that needed extensive foundation repairs as well as all plumbing, electrical and subflooring.
