I'm shopping insurance again this year because my first renewal is in May and Farmers is raising the cost by 30%.

Hi I am new to property managing. 

If gone unaddressed, complaints can lead to costly violations & fines.

Example:Let's say the backyard is 5,000 feet, the front yard is 2,500 feet, and irrigation costs $150 a month.

We were planning $600/mo mortgage payment, $100/mo insurance & $100/mo taxes - balloon payment in 5 yrs.We are providing $5k to pay back taxes ($4k), back hoa ($125), pump septic & grease trap clean out ($225), survey ($600)  & our children are paying closing costs ($1500).Deal stalled as owner backed out on seller finance.Suggestions?

This nonsense about paying full price off the MLS and using borrowed money to cover the closing costs is very alarming.You haven't said that, but a popular guru has and he has sold a lot of "memberships" in the process.

(Cost of construction and payoff of remaining loan on the home)1- selling the home as is would help on capital gains tax.

Hi Ignatius, following David Greene's Core 4 strategy—realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender—can give you confidence to invest in any location.

Had he called us more than likely we could have had the same plumber come back at little to no cost.

The seller will not let us extend due diligence and will just put it back on the market and said he could do these repairs for half of the cost of the low bid (~5k).
