We had to wait maybe 2 months to see if we were going to get it and luckily the owner let us rent it while we were waiting.

It might be worthwhile to wait until the lease is up in Feb which is only a few months out.

Section 8 can definitely cause extra headaches like the longer wait times to get a tenant in there, the inspections, and the incompetent CMHA office you can never get a hold of.  

I ran out of the room as soon I found his online profile.It's unfortunate that people fall for this scam99% of the set up folks are all actors or professional speakers.. a lot of successful real estate folks are not great presenters.. and would lay and egg on the stage. you need that type of personality..  

The house is comfortable renting out to 2 tenants with their own bedrooms and an extra fridge.2) You should wait until after this COVID bust. 30% of mortgages in the United States were laid or in default in April / May.

I am sure every state is a little different or have nuances but for sure as Greg mentioned materialmen can file a lien and then just wait.. the other thing they can do is a court action for unjust enrichment claims.. those are the two ways Materialmen protect their interest at least out here on the Left coast.. 

I know this may not seem possible, and probably not the answer you were looking for, but it would be worth partnering with another active investor, bringing in a passive investor(s), or even waiting until you have enough capital to deploy into the right deal. 

Quote from @Veronica Morss: I just finished rehab on my first Cleveland property and we're waiting on the lead certificate to come back which I'm told 30-60 days.

The difference is, if you don't specifically lay things out, you implicitly agree that the prenuptial agreement is the laws of the state you currently live in (or the future one you live in at the time of divorce). 

I’m going to wait this real estate market out for at least 3-6 months.
