With prices dropping to flat in some areas, one year is not uncommon.My greatest concern is that you don't appear to have enough to loan the purchase money on a flip and barely enough to loan the rehab money.

Volatility is a concern, I don't want my investment to drop in half at the same time the real estate market takes a dive like in 2008. 

It's hard to believe the "value" has dropped that much in 3 years.  

I am very glad that I did that, because we do all our screening through Appfolio, which uses Experian for credit  checks, and we also report to Experian Rent Bureau, which records lease dates, owed balances, and also can help boost or drop a credit score based on the tenants payment history.

In addition, the general order also provides that the Sheriff shall cease execution of eviction orders (1) whenever the outside temperature is 15 degrees Fahrenheit or colder on the actual day of the eviction or (2) whenever regardless of outside temperature, extreme weather conditions endanger the health and welfare of those to be evicted.For landlords, this is just part of the business of being a landlord.

@Eric Mulhern I'd investigate her (even just google her) and find out her problem.PS I'd drop the vernacular ("double closing") when dealing with an Official Agency;-)

I knew I wanted to be a real estate investor and dropped out.

There is still mortgage insurance so if someone can buy the property and refi then they can drop the monthly payment as well.

If it has well or septic, I'd drop it - there is simply too much 'big expense' risk, unless you are fairly flush with cash.2.
