I feel like this is more than fair and gives her plenty of time to prepare.

We have found that some properties pay more than their fair share of flood premium and others are not paying enough due to the risk.  

Many of the German landlords around military bases are used to working with Americans and therefore capable at communicating in English.

@Jordan Moorhead  my home is not a 6 mil home its nice but its not on the lake.. but for someone working downtown  I am only 5 minutes to I 5  which is nice. and I am on a private street only 3 homes including me and walk to 1 through 8.. which families like.. but not a lot of families here because of price point.I know I could get 5 to 6k a month for it.. for sure.. just wondering how the nightly stuff would fair out 800 a night at 50% occ I s12k a month that's pretty good money.. 

The "50% rule" states that one can expect expenses on a long term average to total to roughly 50% of fair market rent, where the expenses include property management fees and capital improvements also but exclude principal and interest payments; principal and interest payments come out of the other half of the rent, and whatever remains is the net cash flow (if any remains).

Had a VERY poor layout from a couple additions over the years so it was fairly unappealing in more ways than one. 

The appraisal should be coordinated by the bank that is loaning the funds for the purchase.I would strongly recommend using a buyer's agent, and they might also be able to verify that you are paying a fair price, and handle all of the nuances of the sale (purchase agreement, inspection, might be able to recommend a title company for the closing, etc).

We've been eying restaurants, especially QSR's but what we've been finding is that these are commanding a premium (especially if they're corporate tenants, not franchisees) and come with fairly low CAP rates and the ability to negotiate the prices is almost non-existent.

The general contractor then communicates directly with the bank to get the draws.I was told that it's typical for the loan to be able to close within 30-45 days, so slightly longer than with conventional mortgages.

Is it a good idea to use Roofstock especially considering I want to stay fairly hands off and I don't have great property options locally?
