He is FAR FAR ahead of you!

Part of me wants to turn down the application due to the concerns around this criminal history, the other side of it is it is a tough market currently and slow season ahead and insisting on rejecting the application would likely create serious rifts with my property managers (whom I have generally been fine with otherwise) as they are pushing back on rejecting due to criminal history from years ago.  

Sometimes the less sexy route of just investing in a solid area, taking care of it and having solid tenant is going to put you ahead then people trying to chase cash flow and things that might not exist. 

Hi @Jacob GuttmanCongrats on your job and kudos for planning ahead!

Unless you have very small apartments or with strange layout, I think you should be shooting for higher rents in this neighborhood which would probably make the decision for you to just go ahead and get the rehabs done before next year's high demand rental season.

Even though it’s tempting to get a head start on the roof due to the weather, having workers in the property while the seller is still living there can create complications.

If everyone was following that same rule, I’d gladly do my due diligence ahead of time.

Everything else will come out long down the rd in trial but for now I’m just picking brains and finding more facts with supporting evidence for actual OCGA law and or other repercussions the lender could face once we finally bring this up or I begin working with the FBI and local authorities on the other matters in the case and want to have as much info I can get ahead of time to begin documenting any case law etc to expedite the process later. 

both the onboarding and the sales calls were great, and overall my lead quality is miles ahead of anything else I've received in the industry. 

I’m glad you’ve identified the first vehicle you would like to take.
