Katee, take the feedback... and thanks for the "tenant" that was poorly vetted and immediately stopped paying and now I have to evict after 1 month... just another in a long line of failures on your part... 

Trying to read between the lines it sounds like you have a regular owner occupied homeowners policy in place on a rental property. 

You will also want to make sure your fees are in line or below market and your pics are excellent.Check out Tripshock also for tix.Good luck!

Quote from @Marc Shin: Hello - i have a 1br 1 ba STR and the refrigerator is not hooked up to the water line so the water dispenser does not work. 

See if they will pre approve you for a line of credit.  

But bottom line: January rent is due to you provided the tenants were informed of the sale on or prior to closing. 

And no matter what, keep an eye on how your financing structure lines up with your exit strategy.Where do you see the biggest risk.. sinking money into improvements or letting the buy back linger too long?

You can try calling the IRS at the special toll-free number: 1-866-455-7438, however their phone lines are usually busy.

Sewer line backup, ordinance & law, and replacement cost coverage are coverages I include. 

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.
