The rent guarantee was never deposited without several reminders that it was past due.In May 2018, ABC told us that the house was almost done, and we could hire a licensed Home Inspector to inspect the home.

I have a 3bd/3ba, 2451 sq ft condo with attached garage near downtown Richmond closer to Level 1 trauma center, great schools and universities.

What Chicago City inspection report did your realtor find? 

Some old school sellers, like many in here have said, don't even want to waste time waiting for a mortgage and buyers who traditionally get cold feet right after inspection with a big loan.

The painting should be completed within three months of the move-in date, and the Lessor will inspect the work to confirm it meets these standards.Can the landlord void the clause, and what happens if the clause gets void?

I specialize in STR and co-living and both these strategies work best closer to the downtown and college areas.

The biggest advantage of using someone local to where you're buying is that they will understand taxes, insurance, and similar items very well when it comes to DTI/DSCR calculations and payment quotes, and they will likely have a local network of service providers for ancillary services (survey, inspections, etc).

My advice to them is you really need to know construction and walk properties (not just look at videos and photos), know the area, have an unbiased local investor do a walk through (if you can't fly there in person), and how to read inspection reports and get a sewer line scope. 

Ask yourself if your actions today are getting you any closer to short/mid/long-term goals.

Keep in mind that any initial rehab costs are on you until you get your first draw.If you can get work done quickly, some lenders I’ve worked with can inspect the property the next day and wire funds the same or the following day.
