I also bought the 2 month online practice tests just to make life easy for me and do the electronic tests.

Mark, if one practices perfectly what's the point of practice?

There is no way of saying which borrower or tenant will default except through good underwriting practices and the ability to read people, I don't miss very often and there are aspects of life, those "financial life events" that can never be foreseen in advance.As to bands of investment/price, not really as I'm an underwriter type and consider each property in relation to the market demand, market rents or collateral nature, to the tenant/borrower.

Can anyone please give us advice on the legal set up and the practicality of doing business around Melbourne?

Anyway, fireplaces in Florida are worthless from a practical standpoint.

Cheers,Andy(I hated zoning laws as a matter of principal before this, now I hate them out of principal and practicality)

We are interested in buy and hold investment properties, so this morning we decided to get off our behinds and drive around town to practice analyzing multi-families!

Remember no tenant is better than a bad tenant- practice the same screening criteria- read some more posts on BP, if you are local I don't think its a bad way to get started in this experience, especially if you plan to invest.I wouldn't think it could be all that bad in Gaithursburg- Voucher or not Screen THEM ALL!

I don't know where the State of New is (LOL) but you may be going against the grain of common practice as sellers are often "required" to show good title, which means seller orders it and usually pays for the search, probably responsible for it if it fails to close.

By adjusting your point of view, you can dramatically increase your satisfaction in life while simultaneously building your REI portfolio.How many landlords have walked into their resident's places only to find 60" flat screen TVs with a really nice sound system while the landlord's old 27" CRT TV (w/ no sound system) is sitting at home?
