I have some health issues flaring up this week that make me unable to reliably sit and focus so I would be afraid to waste your time right now (I started writing this message yesterday for example and suddenly had to go lay down before I could finish).I would love to take you up on that though once my health stuff hopefully settles down again.The quote about the quitclaim deed was a website where the county lists the properties for sale, not actually on the Ada county website (I don't think I ever saw the word "quitclaim" on the Ada County site) - but I did find on the Canyon County (right next door to Ada county, I actually live in Canyon):"For each property sold, the County will transfer its interest by quitclaim deed without warranty or representation."  

If every applicant wanted to pay lower rent, and I was unable to find an applicant after an extended period of time I would relist it at a lower rate.

So he was either unable or unwilling to show me those detailed financials.

I have read that most quitclaim deeds are unable to obtain title insurance so it's always best to have a title company run a report and make sure the title is free and clear.

Go back to the Seller and ask for the reason why they are unable to provide a full year of data.

However, I am in the Military and with several deployments taking priority, I was unable to really start the process to begin investing in real estate.I am currently in the process of moving out to Albuquerque, NM and I am finally ready to seriously look into purchasing a property. 

Is it not correct to think that you buy a house lil later in life but buy a decent size one and then hopefully stay there till end (obviously unless you are physically unable to live alone)

You seem unable to even begin to put yourself in the shoes of the landlord here, to understand what it's like to have someone play games with you like this.

I know many unable to sustain heat with heat pump only in the north.

I can guarantee that the average LL has a higher net worth than the average person.What happens if you become unemployed, disabled, or otherwise unable to work?
