That’s when things got real and the pressure is on!

Talk about how good the schools are, how close to the beaches or other attractions, Size/type of kitchen, ease of maintenance of swimming pool if in place or jet powered swim lane, Covered parking if so, etc. 

Because they will get defensive if they feel you are pressuring them.

Some situational pressures are a somewhat wobbly rental market due to economic conditions (Nike/Intel layoffs). 

They may be pressure treated, but even pressure treated is susceptible to rot over time. 

If you're unsure, I would say put a minimum of 30% of the funds you received aside for taxes and use the rest to invest towards that goal you want.If it helps set you at ease, none of our clients have ever been "killed" by the IRS, we haven't seen that dark side of them, yet.

But if someone is pressuring you to make a quick decision that you are not qualified to make, then the chips are undoubtedly stacked in THEIR favor more than yours.

BUT you also want to get the property under contract and make some money.I hope to put you at ease.

If multiple neighbors contact the property owner or local authorities, it might increase the pressure to resolve these issues.

This may be an easier way to ease into investing in real estate.
