As long as you don't cross the line ethically, you stand to do a lot more business with a license, and you also have the benefit of the MLS, which is critical for accurately determining the AS-IS and Retail values of the home. 

The great thing about forums like these is that we can write what we want but we can't write just about anything, as we'd stand corrected if we do.

In other words, do you think they'd stand up well in a rental?

The thing I can't stand is very few of these showng costs. include closing costs/commissions/holding costs.The vegas one was pretty cool and revealed the business side of things pretty well.

Brian, for your list;jumping, standing or sitting, making any noise or objectionable odors!

If the deal is that good from a cash flow or equity stand point I think finding a partner that has the credit and down payment available and either both of you going on the loan or just your partner going on the loan but both of you going on title.

I have a base to stand on and can continue to move forward with the "To Do Now List."

Instead they are concentrating on elective pay as you go surgeries with immediate reimbursement vs the 90-120 days of fighting with Ins carriers.Given the future demand for concierge medicine I would be looking to build these stand alone 'pay as you go' immediate care facilities that are not much bigger than a Taco Bell & are conveniently close to a pharmacy.

Search the entity as they will need to be in good standing to convey but also look for contingent liabilities as Adam mentioned.After conveyance of title you should be in the clear as any judgment after the sale usually can't touch you, unless there were issues unique to that property and there should be, a final clearance on title prior to filings to avoid last minute claims.I'd say the biggest issue will be from new construction or repairs being made to a property within the time frame allowed to file workman's and material liens.

How much would that increase the value of the duplex from an investment stand point?
