.. but this gives you the freedom if they stop paying, quick notice of non-renewal, and your loss is minimized. 

Wondering what BP crowd thinks of the recent news tha the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced Tuesday that Fannie and Freddie will both be shutting down their single-family rental pilot programs and ending their participation in the single-family rental market, outside of their previously existing small investor programs – Fannie Mae’s Multiple Financed Properties and Freddie Mac’s Investment Property Mortgages.

What I mean by that is that your refinance is most likely going to be with a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac  program, if you want the best rates and terms.

We closed on our duplex, gave notice to one tenant we werent renewing. 

Even if it weren't required, flood notices and determinations must be performed prior to funding.

I too believe it is getting harder and harder to find the people you really need to consistently get the results you need to keep losses down in small-scale fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold operations like ours.Joe, I too have noticed the almost total lack of forum postings on how the non-self-managed are able to get actual quality work done instead of the illusion of it.

I sent a notice to vacate right away and they signed for it, so I can now file to evict.

From what I've noticed, once you dip below the 600 dollar range the quality of tenants drops off pretty quick.

In the abovementioned agreement, should the buyer or seller not perform a duty within a given amount of time, the other party must first issue them what is known as a Notice to Perform (CAR Forms NBP and NSP).

If it's a Fannie Mae loan, than yes.
