I am a big believer in formal coaching programs in any field someone is looking at getting into.

Hi Joe,I doubt ceiling fans can increase the rent in San Antonio.In the bedroom(s) and living area I think of them as must haves to retain residents (in Texas).I have no formal data for this, just a gut feel, that residents will stay longer if they have (the proper) comforts in the unit.Some fans must be oiled regularly, avoid those.Home depot sells replacement blades and replacement parts for them.Them make a kit where you can reach up into the old light hole and secure some bars in there and that holds the fan steady--meaning don't just bolt it to the old electrical box.The reason I hold my beliefs about them is every time I have been inside an apartment or home, and someone is in the room, winter or summer--the fans are on.So I assume people consider that a comfort item like having heating, especially if it's a SFH without AC (which San Antonio has a lot of).Cheap fans cool the same as fancy expensive ones, and when they are turning you can't see the fancy blades anyway.Good Luck!

We haven't submitted a formal LOI yet because funding for the two of us might be tricky.

An attorney will probably make a formal demand for payments, produce documents, etc.There are State and Federal agencies that get involved, too.

Some states (23 states I believe, including California) don't use the courts for foreclosures but instead, use trustees (Unless its a judicial foreclosure).

Proximity to the highest paying jobs in the world is pretty big we now know as the re gentrification of those formal hell holes comes to fruition.

If the landlord had only been pro-active instead of re-active then this might not have happened etc.You want a paper trail especially when a tenant puts something in writing of you taking action.The bottom tenant even though she works all the time she is not there it sounds like to mold her son through the formal years.

Definitely the single dad & son.But my other question would be do you do regular references in addition to the standard background check formalities?

She attended a Gastonia Planning Commission meeting last month when the concept was first formally presented to the public.

@Greg Wempe - if you've got 50% down and have 100% confidence in your loan officer or mortgage broker, that could be one where you waive loan contingency even when your loan person (being conservative and safe) says "well this hasn't formally been through underwriting so I suggest not.... my numbers look good, but I'm human and could have made a math error."
