My concern is you're going to get yourself tied into a contract and be financially liable for something that you're not ready for.

My portfolio has performed beautifully for me in the past but I’m concerned about a future SF earthquake and wondering about the opportunity cost of staying in San Francisco relative to investing elsewhere.

My primary question I seek to have answered by posting this post is fairly straight forward, yet I encourage debate concerning metrics and comparisons.  

You also have to be concerned about debt to income ratios as second loans usually carry higher interest rates and shorter terms (think larger payments). 

My concern would be that if I let them move in to finish it, then I could not get them out after and would have a lot of legal issues.

My concern is that I may only have 2 weeks to cancel my offer.

Im looking into invest in a home but the sellers are still living in the property, is there any thing I should be concerned about or avoid because the houses I’ve worked with before where already vacant so it was a bit easier .

Is that the case because in the above example the HOA was the lien holder, but there was also a secondary concern of the first mortgage?

If so, run the numbers both ways.The HW heaters and roof are reasons for concern.

You have to be ready to show up when the buyer needs you although, if you're not very concerned with keeping busy, you can just set hours and hope that they get filled. 5) I really wish you the best of luck in your new career and please ignore my cynicism....you'll do great!
