Cleveland is getting much more stringent testing for lead these days. 

Someone told me I could use a "permit runner" service to get the permits pulled. 

To me at least, that seems like a much better first filter than any "rule" If it passes that sniff test then you make an offer at your price and model to your hearts content.

Looking for a PM that services Macoupin County Illinois.

We use a professional service for every listing and also for my rental properties.

I am quickly realizing it's difficult to find 1) properties which meet the 1% test, and 2) properties which cash flow positive from year 1 (unless we increase our down payment from 3.5% to something much higher).I would like to get two pieces of advice from the Bigger Pockets community in Massachusetts.

Interesting... when loans are sold to the secondary market, but the original lender continues to service the loan, does the original lender get a service fee?

Hi Kenneth, I own LIV Indy, which is a full service brokerage serving investor clients.

In CA I can email title company day of the sherif sale and within two hours I’ll get the clear to close title very or detail title report..... i am finding it very difficult here on the east coast  when I was an active buyer of courthouse steps our title company kept a running spread sheet of every NOD in the 3 county area and updated it daily for us.. then we call customer service morning of and they do a date down for us on the phone..  

My intention was to pass on the loan servicing fee to the borrower.
