Plus, if it's in the county - translate rural, there is generally no code enforcement, permitting or inspection.With that said, if you're dealing with a flat roof, or even a section of the roof, there's no asphalt shingle that should have ever been applied to it.  

This was still a great deal for us, but I wish I would have refinanced into a lower interest 30 year loan and applied the difference monthly to the loan. 

This may not apply to what you want to do and the market has definitely went up But have faith, keep searching.  

I would be applying for crappy $700 apartments.  

A friend has a condo unit rented to some guy, this guy got a girlfriend and tried to move her in, so with the owner consent they apply to the HOA and she was rejected, so the gay brought her in anyways without the owner awareness.

The constructive sale provisions under the IRS code apply to options greater than 12 months and not 36 months.

You don't need to buy all 3 years, you can just buy the oldest and payoff the rest when you apply for the tax deed.  

@Sebastian Restrepo FHA 203K is a FHA loan, so the 1 yr occupancy requirement applies.

I am reviewing my HUD statement and last 9 months taxes, security deposit for both sides, and prorated rent is in 200 section and is being applied to the loan which I am taking.My questions.

this particular one is an off market deal so my biggest fear,  that they see i just bought it for x amount and then try to sell right away for x +, doesn't apply in this case.I would want to buy this property at $290,000 and try to list for $360,000.This just doesn't seem like a very big spread and i would fear that it would sit on the market.
