Or if they move with cause (they cannot feed their family or keep food cold)...you will have to replace the appliances or find a tenant with their own...it's customary to provide a range and fridge in Ohio...washer/dryer are mostly a tenant provided item if there is not an on-site facility...I would be surprised, if outside of these unusual pandemic times, if most Ohio courts would construe that clause as a landlord obligation to provide appliances.

I've been following this thread with interest because I'm in an unusual situation of having cash to invest due to divorce proceedings, but finding it tough to get a fixed loan because I'm in the home my kids grew up in, which is expensive, and Fannie/Freddy lending looks 3 years out. 

So there is something to be said for Paying off a mortgage, Oh sure I could parlay these properties into another 6-8 more rentals and have more income perhaps but then I would have 15 mortgages, would have to hire a property manager, most likely evict hardworking people in these uncertain times and have a lot of sleepless nights.

Fund and Grow ask you to leave reviews about them after you have worked with them I usually don’t have the time or inclination to do that but this company is unusually good and deserves it.

Lender strictly make a uncertain amount until the deal re sells. 

(I was imagining buying a duplex for my first property - by my math it would have to be definitely under 270k total - hopefully far, far less to guarantee cashflow - then renting out the other unit to pay my mortgage.)If I do not do a live in flip for my first deal I am uncertain how I will be able to put 25% down on even a good deal, while paying that mortgage, and the rent where I currently live - do you have any insights I am missing?

One - there is no guarantee, and I am uncertain why they would go higher from here. #2 - much of LA is subject to strict rent control.

Lots of minimum-wage friends and family tend to have some unusually strong opinions

Unfortunately, the late arrival of pics are going to be an issue as folks don’t look at homes they already saw.It may be unusual but I suggest updating the description to state “Updated pics!”
