SOOO. long story short my wife and I bought our first home almost 2 years ago with a FHA / NIFA Nebraska INvestment Finance Authority.

Our tenants were great about it and they took a short vacation to a nearby hotel and we had the house tented and fumigated in 3 days flat.In your case since its a duplex you need to get both units done, otherwise whats the point? 

Apart from a lot of insurance claims.. how does price react short term?

Turnkey investments are not made to be short-term, so exiting only a few years in isn't ideal and will likely result in them losing money unless the market has shot up a ton very quickly (where is this prop, btw?).

If you are not first position then you could potentially get shorted if your tenant has a bad paycheck.

Time to repairAll the carrying costs (short term loan terms)However, make the offer!

Commerical loan terms and the short amortization periods make things really tough.

Short of a fire, solid hardwood with a thick, heavy finish holds up like nothing else.

HML is usually short term because the terms of the loan are not conducive to long term cash flow.

They will dispatch a service to fix the problem and then one of three things happens: it was either a free courtesty service, or: they will charge your account (and deduct it for next months rent, not from the sec dep, so if they don't pay, the rent is short, which will trigger a late notice that can lead to eviction), or: they will give you a written notice and enforce the rules and regulations you have signed.
