I am feeling so much guilt because this person seems like they are under so much pressure and have been waiting to see the property for nearly 3 weeks ..

After getting two call backs telling me they could not get to this job until April or later I did hear from a roofer that showed up today to see the job site.

I HAPPILY pay it for many reasons:1) I want the neighbors to see there are people coming and going and that it's not abandoned2) I like to see the work I'm doing to it as it's completed3) If the air conditioner is stolen or pipes are frozen/leaking or copper pipes are stolen I want to know about it sooner rather than later.For what she charges me, I think I'm getting a deal. 

I have smaller properties in mind for myself since I'm just starting out, but I see the potential.

See the mortgage will remain in the sellers name, and he was saying that there was some escrow from the payments he made last year. he received some sort of statement and wanted to keep it. so since the mortgage company will not mail a check he was saying if i could cut him a check.

Bring it below 3% utilization (you will see the biggest score jump), you can ask for a credit increase.

When seeing seller financing do you see the buyer doing short term loans with the seller?

How are you accessing the MLS to see the cancelled or expired listings?

Me and my wife have been considering getting into the investor game for a while and this community is awesome and has so much information to consume and I can see the vast potential that is available in real estate to get out of my day job.

So I have analyzed this 4plex as best I can, it seems like good deals on paper - and then I went to see the units...I am now getting nervous about the condition in which some tenants keep the rentals.
