Performing the job effectively is the tough part.

It's much easier to refinance with an institution (mine were local banks) after a couple years of performance.  

I'm managing from out of state for the next 9-12 months so I need a cleaner that I can trust and has a history of quality performance and a solid reputation.

In my case, the sales contract had a disclosure section with one line asking if any unpermitted work was performed.

Am I crazy as I would never pay the same for a performing CFD as a performing note. 

It really would not take much in the way of complaints from the public to cause a State Legislature to enact laws preventing investors from performing in ways we do now. 

MLS data sheets are excellent for home buyers but not for investors.With the above information, combined with what you learned about the target tenant pool's vacancy cost, you have what you need to make an informed decision on property selection.SummaryNick, if you follow the above process, your odds of consistently buying properties that perform in good times and bad are very high.

The only program that is remotely similar is one from Performance Equity Partners (PEP).Some of the manufacturers also offer home financing programs (although it applies to only homes they manufacture whereas 21st and PEP does not) and that includes the Revive program from CAVCO and another from Legacy Homes in Texas.

Metro Detroit has a great balance Price/Rent/Location.I have all my rentals here and will keep buying because they perform very well.The “trick” to Metro Detroit is the ring city suburbs.

Every state has different laws but in my state typically the Buyer can sue Seller for "specific performance", or seek damages, or let it go (obgligatory "I'm not an attorney" statement - really...I'm no attorney).
