If you want your transaction to go smoothly make sure that your real estate agent has experience with these types of homes or can refer another one who does.

Many investors target the owner of the home while they are "in foreclosure", but BEFORE the bank takes ownership of the property (sometimes referred to as "pre-foreclosure").

I am located in the Bay Area if anyone would like to refer.

The company I was hooked up with seemed to be okay when I spoke to him and after checking a reference (a fellow Canadian).

Hi @Dan HeuscheleThank you for your message, are you referring to what my plan for the rehab loan?

This also seems high to me but my only reference point is Florida, (Tampa/St.Petersburg area) where a 4-point inspection was $75 and $125 (both for SFHs tho) this same month. 

I'm aware that the HOA would be in second position and how to find the amount if they had taken legal action, but in this case it was in the process of being referred to the lawyer.

Newbie question: On the map does limited refer to limited sales > ie SUPER SLOW                            or does limited refer to unable to compare to prior > ie inconclusive  

Are you referring to reducing vacancy or increasing other non-operating income in order to increase cash flow?

You may have already talked to them, but I discussed 4plexes with Supreme Lending earlier this year and they'll finance as investment property on 1-4 units and refer you to commercial at 5+.
