From the Universal Residential Appraisal Report "Fannie Mae Form 1004" : The purpose of this summary appraisal report is to provide the lender/client with an accurate, and adequately supported, opinion of the market value of the subject property.

This is very subtle in terms of activation:(1) If H & W IRA simply decide to participate in a partnership so as to be able to purchase properties for rehab and sell (or rent), but no clear property has been identified at the time the partnership was formed, then enabling has not been triggered.(2) If H & W IRA have decided to partner together to complete an acquisition whether directly from the IRA's or through an entity, and either one of those IRA's cannot complete the transaction by themselves (i.e. having adequate cash, other assets that can be sold in a timely manner, getting a loan, transfers funds in to the IRA), then there is a potential for enabling to be triggered.Enabling an IRA by a disqualified party is a prohibited transaction and can cause the IRA to be disqualified.Do note that the situations I have described in (2) are only a small sampling and you have to document why a specific JV has not triggered enabling.

I’m not saying don’t negotiate on your behalf and get paid adequately for your work but I am saying make the value come first and be ok with sharing generously of the fruits of that with others that have helped make it possible for you to add that value. 4 be consistent.

As others have said: a 3/8" supply line is not adequate for a washing machine and is not to code.

Yep, that's the game....FHA will be a tougher appraisal and yes they buyer can pay the difference, so long as they still have adequate reserves after closing to qualify.

In my opinion there never is a bad time to buy as long as any property makes sense.It makes sense if it meets your overall goals.It makes sense if the property is a deal as defined by your goals.It makes sense if you have adequate funding either from liquid assets and/or financing.My business plan considers location, value add opportunities, cash flow, neighborhood demographics and bottom line how it will impact my future retirement goals.What doesn't make sense is overreaching and putting all your assets at risk.

A properly fire-rated wall assembly is most important ... you can achieve adequate sound proofing in the process ... which is why I suggested a layer of acoustic membrane and another layer of {1/2"} drywall over the 5/8" fire-X drywall if you really need it.Installing resilient channel (with or without spacers) is fairly easy {just be certain not to hang it upside down} and provides a good break for low frequency sounds.  

Rarely will we offer a > 12-month lease to students ... though we recently offered an 18-month lease to a PhD student who needed to move for this month (though this candidate made adequate income to cover the 3x rent requirement).Another point, when screening student applicants, it will be more common than not for them to have no, or insufficient, credit or rental history to pass our screening.  

Most likely the answer is no, that is because of high cost of these policies over 90% of owners can't afford adequate coverage.I personally got $500,000 term life insurance policy about 10 years ago, I don't really need it now because I have enough passive income from my investments and business to take care of my family financially should something happen to me.

It's your job to verify they have adequate insurance.
