I have been listening to your podcast and it is very evident in those podcast marketing and probate are two areas you have mastered.

Just make sure that you document any evidence of your preexisting, substantive relationship with them. 

There is simply no evidence to support your claim.This letter is to let you know that I expect you to immediately call me at 123-321-4567 or email me at [email protected] OR you may contact Jane Doe at AnyTown Title, 123-456-9876, to sign my “Release of Earnest Money”.

The property is not currently zoned a multi-family, however I see in the market that many people rent out their MIL suites.It is stated on the MLS that this MIL unit is usually rented out, and I see evidence that it is a common practice in the area.Should I go for it?

It will become evident to you over time as to which direction you should go, and you'll be learning more in the process.Stay positive and stay focused, and don't listen to people around you tell you how to make money if they don't have any.

I think my current assumptions are pretty conservative, and If I can't find evidence that some of the major maintenance stuff has been done recently, I probably won't bite.

Yet, over the last couple of years after jumping into this full time after doing it on and off from 2003 to 2012, I've seen more and more evidence that just the term "FLIP" is absolutely POISONOUS to a surprisingly large number of serious buyers and what really scares and bothers me is hearing from several local agents who do a lot of volume (I really just buy and sell my own stuff now) that they've had a fair number of buyers who may see a home online that they like or even love based on the pictures and description, but won't even bother to do a showing if it turns out to be a F@#P!

Oh, and of course, you must erase any evidence of this problem, too.Structural engineers are expensive.

The slab crack appears to be minor from the photo and if there isn't a point load there or further evidence of a potential problem, I personally wouldn't give it much consideration, but have it checked out by a qualified local professional if you have concerns.Areas to check regarding the water leak... where the siding meets the chimney, the chimney cap, the flue cap.  

If nothing happens, take them to court if you have proof/evidence.
