Rick H......I know that isn't the typical case and I wish it were not the case here, but I spent many hours on the issue early on and it is because the IRA was initially inherited by a trust which then was distributed to the beneficiaries of the trust and there was some technicality having passed first to the trust that it had to then have distributions taken based on the life expectancy of the oldest trust beneficiary, which was my stepmother in this case. 

I was initially hoping to invest here on long Island but after some thorough research have come to the conclusion that to have a positive cash flow I would have to purchase properties for section 8 in undesirable areas.

is anyone doing a Radon test in there rentals as part of your initial prep after purchase?

If I have more than 4, I cannot take cash out on refinance after the initial 6 months.

If they say a number that is close to your initial ballpark of an acceptable purchase price, the lead is still alive.

The person I am looking for is licensed, bonded, and has a track record of competent work completed on schedule and on the initially agreed upon budget.

Part of the value of the LLC is that it makes it more challenging for would be attackers and can deter the initial attack all together.  

Great initial customer service, friendly sales guy, hired local appraiser, then I didn't hear anything for 2 weeks. 

This will help you save money down the line because you can remove bad addresses from your mailing list.Don't be afraid to do some of the monotonous tasks yourself initially..

I'm not sure why you wouldn't list your rental criteria in your initial ads to avoid having unqualified people apply.
