And of course they'd rather not "experiment on themselves" (clutching pearls) to prove that there's a much more affordable solution to their problems.I'm in my forties now, and I've long been forced to accept that the world is filled with men and women who really want to be told what to do.

Specifically who pays for this fee?The buyer or the seller?Thanks

I have must have spoken to at least 35-40 people on the phone to pre-screen and even gotten deposits from people just to have them back out at the last min.Needless to say, I am getting frustrated and fearful, as it has been about 2 months since I finished the rehab. 

I know in the case of my two tenants who had foreclosures, they just had really high mortgage payments that they couldn't afford.

Many see a 750 score on Credit Karma (when their FICO 08 is 615) or some other nonsense-score site, then plug that into a rate estimator on Zillow or LendingTree or any other site, and then google "How much house can I afford" and get a huge "best case" number and think they can get approved for that.

I had a plumber there two months ago to replaced a leaky outdoor faucet, so it seems he forgot to turn the water on all the way.Both of these companies generally do good work, so it leaves me frustrated.

There is a believe that anyone should be able to live in L.A at an “affordable price “ and I just don’t see that being realistic.

My team and I are looking to get our second property under contract and it's a mixed use building- Store front w/ residential apartment up top, and two single family homes attached- very strange...Here's what I know before visiting the property:- It's downtown in a very mall city with a historic board- Separate meters for electric- One bill for sewer and well (I'm assuming it's county sewer but will investigate further to ensure not a septic)- I'm going to ask for the leases and ask the renters what they're paying for rent.As a mixed use building I'm assuming I'd need to dig into the store fronts financials to ensure they're capable to afford the property.

ROBS affords you access to all the money in your 401k without the risks of a 401k loan. 

This is my first rental so I'm stuck trying to find a place that I can afford, but also be in an area where there is a possibility to have decent tenants and hopefully some long term growth.
