How do you prevent having too many properties stacked in a portfolio?

I would argue that if the blinds and curtains were open and they just happen to look that way, it should not count.Best thing you can do is talk to the lawn crew and tell them to avoid looking her way, do it by e-mail and have them confirm (it provides a record, it kind of sucks for the crew since there's a record, but it protects you because it shows that you took steps to prevent this action and not ignore it after you have been made aware of it).Hope this helps.

Sometimes, when sellers are selling as "cash only," there can be problems with the property that they know about that would prevent the property from qualifying for any type of mortgage, so just be careful there and make sure to do your due diligence and have an inspection done if possible. 

Learn where things went wrong in your process and try to prevent it next time.

The difference on that coast is there is still empty space to build which has prevented flippable properties from being overvalued.

Those are my main concerns that are preventing me from making offers today. 

Seller experienced numerous issues that prevented them from renovating and selling this home on the MLS.

My understanding is that the moratoriums just prevent you from terminating a lease early. 

I have some vacant properties in the northeast under various stages of rehab that can be vacant for extended periods of time and I want to prevent frozen pipes if the property is unattended for extended periods of times.

It has prevented me from getting a loan, but HMLs are still willing to work with me.
