So my questions are:  How do I prove what it needs in repairs to be habitable and the cost involved to back up my low offer and when do I do this?

Hi, I am looking for a good attorney that can close on a subject-to, owner financing/seller carryback, lease-option and other creative financing deals involving wrap mortgages.

It seems like once you get the lawyers involved the cost goes wayyyyy up. 

And possibly something a little less involved by Douglas Park.

Sometimes its better to not have family involved with business.

AN INDICATION OF INTEREST INVOLVES NO OBLIGATION OR COMMITMENT OF ANY KIND.

I ran out of cash and now need to finish up.Options:1) I have heard about interest only payments and refinancing at the end, but I don't know how to find these.2) I also heard about a program called Homestay  that provides the renovation money and then refinances all in one. the interest rate is a bit higher than a regular refinance since there is a loan involved. but is doable.3) is there an option 3??

I would like to Landlord and PM the property so am looking to buy somewhere within a 90 minute drive from the city.I want to spend $300k - $350k for my first investment so was considering Pierce County, Federal Way or Everett areas and even Bremerton (although don't love the issues involved investing in military towns).

As a broker, establishing valuation to take a property to market involves understanding the fundamental metrics that are involved.

There's a cost-benefit analysis involved as you'd be potentially subjecting a good portion of the PM fees to FICA.
