How much damage will the tenant do to your rental this year?

Now much of this I think will have different effects for different markets.

They aim to promote peaceful ownership and effective passing of the title from one person to another.

The seller did a termite treatment and we didn't see any visible signs of damage when we initially looked at the house and everyone said termites are very common.

When you rehab for retail or for rental, do you do some things that are not very expensive, but that bring a big wow effect?

The new Dodd-Frank go into effect on Jan 10, 2014 and the rules apply to financing for owner occupant buyers, not commercial or investor to investor transactions.

The sales rep tells me that it could be the house framing is warped in that area, that they can only follow the existing contours of the wood framing, and that it won't effect the ability of the roof to keep the house dry.Should I believe this?

Sometimes you'll hear appraisers refer to this as 'effective age' as in 'the effective age of the 40 year old house is substantially less than the 30 yr. old house due to substantial renovation'.

A sale transfers ownership and a previous owner has no right to follow through with any suit for eviction, they may seek damages of amounts owed as a debt, you'll need to start from scratch.

You want a credit app and lease if you are going to allow it, but IMO it just strengthens their ability to pay and your ability to collect if they don't or you have to sue for damage.
