Yes  welcome and this is a great forum but need to be slightly aware as everyone has own experiences and comments ..

By observation from a few I've seen in the area:1) Find old guy, hopefully with limited faculties not aware of the market value of his property2) Tell him you love his place and will enjoy owning it and that you're his good buddy who cares about him.3) Offer him at least 10% under FMV and tell him no one else is going to pay that much.   

Hello all, I'm curious how much the HUD will actually pay compared to the 40th percentile rents posted on their site.I'm aware of the different amounts each tenant will cover in terms of their portion of the rent, but I'm not sure if the HUD will actually agree to my rent price.I've been taking the stated FMR for the bedroom count, and taking 20% off the number stated (to be conservative as to what the HUD will accept). 

You shouldn't need to send multiple reminders; tenants are generally aware of their rent due dates and are conscious of any delays.

One thing to be aware of is the higher property taxes to offset some of the city services.

With this new reality it is imperative that buyers are aware of these expenses prior to submitting offers on homes; they should also be aware of the risk that these costs can appreciate aggressively.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna163853

As both an investor and a broker, I’ve worked with a variety of lenders, and while many are solid, some have issues—whether it’s delayed closings, surprise fees, or poor communication.I’m curious to hear from the community: have you had any bad experiences with lenders that we should all be aware of?

We have several who have called us and usually are glad to help (avoid meal times and be aware of their timezones).

But you, me, and everyone else is aware you are better at it than they are anyway.
