#s based on duplex I’m being shown420,000, rate 6.25%Mortgage payment: 3271 + 225 HOA (increase $65 starting July) =3561Currently paying 1200 in rent + utilities.I know you’re going to scream at me for this.

Remember: Insurance companies want you to pay the bill and when it comes to their turn, will do everything they can to NOT pay.I would get clear on that piece before proceeding further.

Note that you may have more tenant-to-tenant issues to deal with though.As with any real estate investment, you pays your money, you takes your chances :)

How do I properly get proof of the alimony she will receive AND how do I protect myself from her either not paying or getting her alimony to pay?

Facts to consider: The condo is in my husbands name, has been for about 5 years so the capital gains taxes would be ours to pay upon sale.

I will say, if you want them to spend time with you walking you through it and answering your questions, you will want to offer to pay them for their time.

do you have a pay history, is it being serviced by anyone but yourself.

While you pay for their utilities and repairs.

You are allowed control over who pays what costs through control panels within the program… so you can control who pays the fee to screen a tenant and how much you charge for that service as well.  

I signed a WS contract with a seller this week....after which I discovered he owes more on the property than the contract dictates that I pay him: we agreed upon $85,000.
