Later find out that Premium Title did not send the proper fee.Here we go again, back to India.

In Washington they would need to go to the department of licensing and fill out a affidavit for lost title which would function as a temporary title until the replacement comes.

By having the equity line available, you can potentially borrow against one house at any given time to buy another house at a good buy with the proper credit. 

I would analyze the apartments as a separate function and and make my decision on that.

You also need the proper mix of credit.

I find a noticeable difference in pristine, showroom sales condition and what I call or have heard called fair "rental condition" (clean, functional, but not perfect)...Unless you get a  super careful tenant, your unit will be closer to rental condition after the six month tenancy than pristine sales condition.

I think it is definitely wise to take your time before leaping into any investment, all things require the proper research and due diligence.

Did you use the search function and search for your question before posting?

. :-)I gave up on Zillow because the search functions aren't as good for me as Redfin's.

All systems must be properly maintained on an ongoing basis.
