My title insurance company is unwilling to do anything further and is just trying to sell us an extra 30K policy to cover the issues.My question is: 1) Can I contact Chase directly on this matter or will they only talk to the owner and the owners REA?

They're still responsible for rent up until the end of the 30 days (again, assuming you have a similar policy).

It will take at least 5 years to get to zero equity.

I also know of private money from people with large cash values in a whole life policy, or business owners flush with cash looking for a good investment.

So we had to make a "no site reviews" policy in the normal forums.

So if they have an eviction situation, leading to zero income for a few months, and then more money needed to get the unit ready for the next tenant....

All thus cuz someone wanted to sell me a policy years ago.

Maybe you aught to change that policy effective immediately.Kudos,Mary

For all you know, in the area you are in houses like this maybe selling for 225,000 and the seller wants to net 269,999 there is zero money for you to make.

(I dont have my exact mortgage/property tax numbers) and yes, i do realize things will break and it will cost money to fix but it wouldnt cost me as much as the average person.House 1 Mortgage + tax = 420Rent = 800Difference = 380House 2 Mortgage + tax = 340Rent = 750Difference = 410You forgot insurance, I do not know the cost in your area but a policy for replacement value of 146K cost me about $600/yr or $50.00 a month.
