Anti-flip overlays are actually very common, especially for jumbo loan amounts, but also retail banks.The ambiguity associated with "once reviewed by our quality review department will indicate if the property is truly a flip and how we proceed" & the fact that it could simply trigger a "loan denied" for reasons unclear to you is always the price paid for accepting an offer from a buyer using a big bank.You can try starting over with a new buyer or a new lender, if you like.

The water meter remains in deed holder's name for a while, but in court, if the City of Toledo tried to fine the Seller, the court would need to look at the contract which is basically a purchase agreement (I know, I know--the Housing Court in Toledo is very anti-landlord).  

But I am anti property management.  

Applicants can leave reviews on social media and get you a reputation as the 'anti gun landlord' even though that isn't the case.

Might want to do a sewer scope to see if sewer is still intact - they take a lot of water pressure in a situation like this and if the ground is as saturated as is being reported, sewer pipes can and do shift.Not just bleach water for cleaning, but specialized anti-microbial solution.TONS of patience and a huge sense of humor.  

It is like she just joined BP to ask that one question, intentionally to stoke the anti-Morris sentiment here. 

PRO TIP:  With all the anti-STR activity, if the seller is the one creating/incorporating/organizing the HOA (or if the seller still has control of the HOA), have part of the deal include that both of your units be "guaranteed" to be able to be used as STRs (as long as municipal ordinances don't specifically forbid it). 

Seemed more than a bit spammy and this site is very anti-spam.David, I think it is quite a stretch to assume that Zillow is going to enter the real estate business just because they are a publicly traded company.

Whatever you decide, make sure you use Schedule 40 pipe, Anti-Siphon valve, spend a little extra money and get better sprinkler heads.

Well, when I went to turn on the water for the shower, not enough pressure - seems those mixing valves that are anti-scald were pushing the cold water into the hot side.
