charley, your first question is very broad. do you know how to fix houses?

I also have the advantage that when the time comes, I can ask you guys BUT my main goal is, as mentioned above, is to learn the skill.BTW What are your pre-set criterias and how do you define them?

For instance in property selection, since their opinions vary, define the target properties in enough detail to avoid Company A and Company B competing in the same 'space'.

Would you define "Landlord Insurance".

Hi Jim...welcome to BP.That is a VERY broad question.

Hey Cheryl, I think it definately depends on the houses around you.

This is not too bad as non-occ will generally run two points higher no matter the loan terms.The terms quoted above seem to me to be broad strokes...

@Jon: I appreciate all of the input and will definately consider everything you have said on any of our future decisions.

That's a very broad question.

But I know its definately not worth that much.
