The properties that I like the best are typically in the B/B- neighborhoods.

While they typically have considerable deferred maintenance, we're getting great terms.

And the cracks mostly follow the drywall seams from what I can see, which is typical....And as @Patricia Steiner said, it doesn't look like a pro installation....You could ask the Contr to use a flexible compound if this happens again, or maybe even now...https://www.dap.com/products-projects/product-categories/pat...Like everyone else said, I'd have it repaired - by a licensed Drywall Contr. - and then just check in on it.

I would rather earn $2000 per month at a 12% rate of return than $500 per month at a 1000% return.

What kind of returns are you typically seeing on these deals?

We shall see but it may all be just typical yap yap.

Most likely the new lender is going throught the foreclosure process and typically will end up taking the property back.The original posters chances of getting this property back now is slim to none as it will be sold at market value.  

FHA loans typically require the property to be a primary residence for at least one year, so he should confirm compliance with his lender.Once rented, he can deduct expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, maintenance, and depreciation starting from the date it's available for rent.

Typically max leverage is 70CLTV - very higher Prepayment penalties and be ready for rates north of 12% - I answer this question all the time.

But, we recognize that the experience you were having, multiple months without revenue and no clear time frame to be fixed, is not a typical experience with our company, and when and where we can help, we will.Our team didn't follow up as we said we would, so you asked us for updates instead of how we plan to operate, which is updating you proactively.
