This information has restored my faith.

They have paid their share of the rent faithfully each month (in cash so I must stop by and pick this up).

"(g) the seller must determine, in good faith, that the consumer has a reasonable ability to repay, and while the sellers are not required to formally document how they made their good faith determination that the buyer had the ability to repay, a prudent seller should keep records in case the analysis is ever called into question.

But hey, if you do happen to lose faith in managing then look into professional property management but don't ever let the weirdos make you lose faith in REI altogether.

Be a person of integrity, be kind to yourself and others, take care of your body (it's the only one you have), be a lifetime learner, set goals, stay the course, adjust to new circumstances, work smart, save more than you spend, don't hold consumer debt (pay off bills every month), build your credit worthiness, maintain a stellar credit score, nurture relationships with others, keep faith in God, believe in yourself, be a positive person, give back to the community with your time, talent, and treasure.

And I do not know yours, so I cannot provide you an answer.Suffice to say, I would recommend that you spend a lot of time thinking very carefully about what skills you currently have, how you will add value to maximize your returns, and specifically what goal you would like to accomplish in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years... and have a vision for the life that you would like to build... as your investment career will significantly impact your life.Like any startup, you must begin in faith, develop an investment strategy that is likely to achieve your goal, spend significant time on market research, make mistakes, develop systems to minimize risks, make more mistakes...

@Jason KrickYou'll have to ultimately decide for yourself how you're going to play this but I would absolutely make sure your agent was getting at least a grand. personally it sounds like you have one helluva agent who is willing to really work for you so just in good faith I would probably tack on a grand myself so they are walking with $1300 from the deal.

Much success and I have faith myself that I complete my first rehab this year ...my goal !

They have a preferred lender that I will ask for a Good Faith Estimate for closing costs. 

I think he's dealing in good faith but stressed for time.
