I guess i can figure out some of these numbers by informing at companies but it be cool to have some general number to compare them to.

If you like it cool/good for you... but just remember why we got into this...

From pre-foreclosure to an actual foreclosure that can be purchased, it can easily be days, months, years, and that's assuming the borrower doesn't try to get in good standing.Also, to make the waters more murky, I know situations where people have switched over the property from their name to an estate or LLC or such and it marks the property as pre-foreclosure.

(All have recently updated - 2 years - major appliances, AC units, Heaters, etc) Only Tax, Insurance, HOA fees, water are included below. 

$550 down the drain, results = 1 jumper to hold ground if the water meter is removed.

Alternatively, if you have a partner that you trust and fits the above criteria, then it may work.Sounds cool to own a place in Italy, but if something breaks down, there is a legal dispute - and many more problems.... you'll have to converse in a different language and different circumstances. 

I couldn't quite figure out whether or not utilities like electricity and water/sewage should be paid by Landlord or tenant, so I assumed the tenant would pay and moved on.I look forward to everyone's feedback!

Hey BP community,I'm a first time homebuyer that wants to make my first home a rental down the road and I'm evaluating a property in Hurst that I have an opportunity to jump on pre-market.Here are the details on the house:1316 Redbud dr. 3bd/2bath1910sqft, 10+ year old AC/Heat system 4 yr old roofold water heaterThe house needs new floors in all bedrooms and the kitchen needs updating.Enclosed rear porch.The comps in the immediate area, based on my rookie evaluation came out around 220k and they want 230k for the house as-is with a lease back option for a couple months to accommodate my upcoming wedding.

The money they are giving you are saved only because they didn't pay rent for the last 6 months, sold all appliances, water heater, garbage disposer and the toilet bawl, didn't pay their utility bills for a big portion of their stay and managed to squeeze additional $2,000.00 as cash-for-keys from their last landlord.

Nothing wrong with a cool 12%
