I know some will scream that insurance will cover you, but not always...They can deny your claim and taking them to court over it may add to your problems if you lose and have legal expenses now to boot.

I'm very happy to do a lead inspection but in summer not now in winter.Btw: There appear to be two lead certs in NH1) Insurance Safe Cert triplex cost estimate about $850 (a 2BR owner occupied + 1BR rented + 1 BR rented)2) Lead Safe Cert.

For that area, the maximum FHA loan amount appears to be $1.4MM, but please correct me if I am wrong.Aside from the 3.5% down, I have also read there will be 1.5% PPI and closing fees, so should expect to spend 6%, but can refinance the PPI after a year or two. 

As long as the ball is in my court, I can push the pace.What do you mean by “it’s never about value”?

House A at some point recently appears to have been abondoned and is now bank owned.  

I did find out from my lawyer as a Realtor that rule probably wouldn't hold up in court if a Realtor owned less than four homes they would still have to adhere to the fair housing. 

If your lease says something different, you can try to enforce it but it probably wouldn't hold up in court.

It appears all charges were dropped. 

This would be a very technical point of law buried in some court precedent. this is an interpretation that would vary by state.

I think we all agree PM is a challenging business, 90% of the time it's very satisfying providing safe, well-maintained housing...8% it's an absolute thrill because there's nothing quite so invigorating as meeting a mouthy tenant in court and seeing a night-and-day attitude change...and 2% its humbling when you need to separate ties with an owner (or tenant for that matter) because they need to go in a different direction.
