Like a poker player who folds most hands, it's not unusual for an investor to look at many hundreds of houses for every one he buys.

Because I'd already crunched the numbers on this unusual scenario. 

@Jerel EhlertI'm not an attorney, my knowledge is limited to having done this a whole bunch of times, and actually reading the documents I sign (unusual I know). 

I'm looking ahead to my next move, but have an unusual situation to contend with: my day job as an engineer is with a remote mining operation, where I work 4 weeks at a time and then return home for 2 weeks.

Do any expenses look unusual? 

If the existing lease does not have the language in it that allows for that kind of extra expense (which is probably unusual) that makes a tenant partially or fully responsible with explanation to the new tenants responsiblility for that type of expense for air conditioning that is unusual unless common in that area and might be discovered during the research period on the subject property and uncovered then. 

It is an unusual arrangement in which the borrower does not currently own the residence serving as collateral.

But we are a bit unusual on that front, as most vendors will still advertise these as "preforeclosures" primarily to attract people that just want a deal, and who have been told preforeclosures are good deals. 

If you're not an experienced negotiator in the real estate world, the seller can walk all over you without you even knowing it happened.Local area: I looked at the map and don't see any detractions or unusual noise sources in the area.However, if you're not familiar with the area, anything west of I-495 and north of I-90 is in the snow belt. 

You're right, that is unusual.
