The bones of the house were good, but it had been seriously neglected and was a year or two from really taking a dive.He wanted 69K, we offered 59K and got it under contract and eventually closed.

Your lease is apparently missing this clause, so type up a quick letter and send it to the tenant explaining their responsibilities.You should also explain that they are responsible for the cost of maintenance caused by abuse or neglect.

This makes a ton of sense to me and I'll follow through to check for extra beds and living circumstances on the 2nd inspection.

In certain circumstances, removing a large tree from your property could be the best option - but it is not without its consequences.

My long term plans are to either allow my mom/family to live here long term and/or if those chose not to or ended up with different living circumstances, I would rent it out and hold.

Has anyone ran into this same circumstance where being on the board is important to ensure you have a say in the building/complex?

Do you think it is possible for me to get approved considering these circumstances?

Usually FHA loans are for people with challenging circumstances so you should be okay.

Usually people in those circumstances are looking to sell a property and if they've been an owner of it for a long time then maybe at a discount.

Would appreciate your thoughts if any of you have pursue this strategyPS:Bare in mind, I'm a bachelor and self-employ those circumstances don't seem to be changing anytime soon.
