I need to investigate any codes or laws governing this process, but I don't know where to begin.The only certainty is that the shelter will look strange, especially next to everyday houses -- HOAs will surely be a death sentence, no?

yet this Am I found a same size heat pum on line for 1700 with free shipping(still need to investigate this company)I shop at Lowes, a realtor friend put me intouch with one of their commercail sales guys.

It is not easy and I have 4 people working on the investigations prior to the sale.

The terms are/were: 10 years, interest only, with a balloon after 10 years.Uh oh.So, after more investigating...they agreed to this note in order to save the buyer on property taxes (since property tax in California is a function of the sales price).The buyer hasn't deducted the private note interest since she bought the house, just the 1st mortgage interest.So...I'm going to put money that the seller has been collecting these payments without reporting it to the IRS.Now, as an investor, I'm thinking that there's money to made here, but at the same time, I'm thinking this is a potential disaster.Thoughts?

I'm going forward and pushing the PD to keep investigating, even if he has moved his operation.

Of course with a condo you have to be ever-vigilant in investigating the HOA.

., it is quite common to be able to purchase small and large buildings in the 7-10 cap range.The real question is what you in particular are willing to pay for your ROI (return on investment).In addition, you need to factor in any and all upside potentials or potential downsides.Although it is true that many (most) Realtors/Agents do not have the first clue about investments, cap rates, or contracts, there are a handful who invest themselves and can be very useful in locating and investigating potential purchases.

If the reason for denial is based upon mom or other sources, I just explain that something came up in the background investigation and that I have to respect the confidential nature that the information was given.Most have skeletons in their closet anyway, and just go away.

Anyway, I looked up the tax info online and discovered that the people that owned it did not live there anymore so I decided to do a little more investigating to learn about their situation.I drove over to the house one evening with my two little ones (2 year and 5 months) and put them in the stroller so that I could walk through the neighborhood and get a better look at the house.

I investigated one such property and was about to place an binding bid upon it, and was glad that I first went to the building inspector.
