My question: because this is a safety issue, how does the eviction timeline differ from a regular eviction.

If the appraisal comes in below the purchase price, then you would need to make up the difference (thus his comment about 25% could become 30% to make it work).Also, the property needs to not have any health/safety issues, which is probably what he was really referring to.

I think I may see what other forms of advertising I can try first before spending an arm and a leg on Zillow/Trulia

This can make acquisitions easier in terms of analysis and justify the higher price point due to the safety of asset.

Welcome to BP Brian, sit with your father, enjoy your time with him, ask and learn as much as you can from him, you probably have the best teacher in arms reach. there is also a lot of things you can learn here on BP, and one thing is to try and stay active on the forums, even if you do not participate in a discussion ( which you should ) pick a few everyday and read them, see what everyone does or thinks, good way to learn.

I come from a public safety/ law enforcement background.

It's $40 per month, and if you raise your rent by that amount, essentially the tenant is paying for the warranty.If anything needs repair, with the $75 service fee, you still win.Without warranty, Plumbing and hvac repairs usually cost $160-$$arm and $$leg.In my own 20-year-old home, I do not have Home warranty, and recently had to pay out of pocket for a copper water supply line leak, where they had to cut open the wall. $800.

My portfolio lender offers 15 year fixed loans of 5/30 and 7/30 arms.

You all signed an arms length affidavit stating there were no side deals.

They look like non arms length/market price sales or transfers, but I'm not familiar with Ga terminology.
