Also, as someone recommended above, check in with the contractor frequently.Best of luck to you!  

I've been hearing how you have to put a percentage down. but if a house is 300k and i have to put 5% for EMD, i don't have that kind of money to put down.

I pay in the area of $240 per month, but that will differ depending on the property.What kind of coverage do you have?

I'm working up a business plan now would love some more thoughts and opinions.1) Who give grants for this kind of thing2) I have checked with zoning, I'm thinking about doing something like a Affordable daycare, Offices for Native American Council (Building does have cultural significance), Grounds for Pow Wows and redo the gym in there for community event. 

We have had two guests check out since 5/1 and have not been paid by VRBO for either.

I am just an average Joe trying to sell our house to investors (ski resort town three hours east of SF if anyone is interested) - I just wanted to check in and see: Is it common for an investor to insist on entering into a contract before they inspect (where they have 2 weeks to inspect and cancel if they don’t like what they see & if they do they will close within one month)?

I am just looking for a kind of realistic overlook of the field and see if making the move would be worth it as I have been quite interested just the step back to take a step forward has been the hesitation.

And no matter how you try hard to be kind, people don't always see things from the Landlord's perspective when it comes down to money.

so even though you’ve talked to someone, you still have to check the official papers. 

Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for specifics.
