.- If you're going after a seller finance deal I think once you understand what it will take to get to a finished state its simply a matter of aligning your needs as far as short term cashflow with the current rents/situation, with the net number the seller needs after the refinance.  

not everyone's family situation or commute or lifestyle permits it, but it's a great way to get started.it's also just objectively tougher to find good deals now than it used to be. 

would love to help, lets connect if you havent resolved your situation yet

It can be frustrating especially when they pick their own inspector and they are totally clueless, raising alarms over non-issues.

Hey Alyssa,I’m in a similar situation—I live in California and invest out of state.

For example, it's difficult to appease a situation if 1 tenant claims they're using less electric/gas than another. 

Ordinarily those tenant vacated damages would be too remote, but it sounds like they were contemplated by both parties at the time of contract.Were I in this situation I would be looking to state law to determine if the EMD is truly the extent of my potential liability as a buyer. 

Stay on top of things, stay organized, and track every important date, from due diligence to contract extensions.Early on, I got myself into some pretty stressful situations.

While the co-signers add some security, the family’s newness to the U.S. and uncertain job situation make them a higher risk overall. 

I am not typically litigious, but this situation is unacceptable.
