I expect this spring to be kind of crazy and if the market goes wild and I want the money, I may just sell but I probably won't.

So, if there's a "wild deed" floating around, and the grantee makes a claim against a new owner, that is not excepted in the above policy.

Since it would take 12 to 36 months to build the property anyway you might be able to get a lender to finance based off of the pro forma value of the after completed duplex at a substantial rent premium to whatever your underwriting today.As mentioned about $96 psf cost to build seems wildly low considering the market supply issues on materials and inflated demand do to low cost of capital and now congressional fiscal stimulus and tax programs.

Interesting topic.In my units it's gas but it's common for my area except the dryer is electric.I have some tenants that love electric and others love gas and hate electric.It will be based on their past individual experiences dealing with utility companies on how they feel one way or another and what they grew up using.So I just go with what's common for the area.I do agree with low income tenants that have wild fluctuations in income that they will try some risky things to get by sometimes.Higher income tenants do not tend to think of doing such things as much is my experience.

., save and invest, but enjoy a little of it now while you're still young enough to do all the wild and crazy things that you'll enjoy reminiscing about while sitting in that ol' rocking chair later in life.And on that note, time to take my daughter to Disneyland!

She claims to be wildly successful and a multi-millionaire.

If its a community bank and they in tended to portfolio all the paper sure it will be like the wild west where anything goes as long as its prudent and reasonable for your given scenario.

Just because you may be exempt doesn't mean it's the Wild West and you can do anything you like, your activities will still be viewed as to what is deemed prudent and what is prudent is compliance with the laws as they may be applicable.For example, there is no reason that an individual note holder can not comply in giving notices required within the time frames such are required, it's not an impossibility to comply with that aspect and you won't be able say "kings X, the law doesn't apply to me" in every aspect.  

If you are not that expierenced at inpsecting houses it may be worth wild to spend $400 to get things check out.There could be bad wiring, plumbing that is not vented correctly, mold, water damage, foundation issues or other things that you may have not noticed.

@James Ritter in my opinion NYC real estate can be like the wild west.
