I don't do high cost loans, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were NOT any special requirements to have/maintain an escrow account. 

It boggles me why the 1 commentor feels lake front is not anything special, that's like saying water is not wet, it's on that level of wrong and ridiculous.

TL;DR: If you were just starting out, with basically zero debt and costs, a low six-figure salary, and $140,000 to invest, with a desire to get into real estate, “connections” to a team of contractors and a great real estate agent specializing in distressed investment properties… What would you do?

Not every, but enough times to wonder about his special abilities to read and profile people.I am also very good at doing door-to-door sales and I have a super simple approach.

What that means is the seller will pay all liens of record at settlement to give you free and clear title at settlement, and depending on the type of warranty deed (special vs. general), that the seller will defend your title against certain (or all) claims after settlement. 

@Laura Gilles - It's sometimes difficult to find a CPA who both specializes in real estate and is located close to you in Boise.There are lots of good CPAs and Enrolled Agents on Bigger Pockets who work remotely and have clients all over the country.

For example, we are no longer charging tenants for the cable and internet at a property so we had to lower our rent by $30 to even it out.

you wire like you were putting in a dryer and your charger/cable that comes with the car plugs in.

Cash is king, but some people have special circumstances (such as rent back or other timeline things) that can make your offer stand out if you can accommodate them.

Sub out the flooring to someone who specialized in that one thing.3.
