Like Mark said, you have to look at rental restrictions, HOA fees and what they cover, and also watch out for special assessments that might be coming soon like roofs, painting, driveways, that can add several hundred dollars a month to the normal HOA fees.  

Is this a normal policy and is it intended to prevent borrowers from easily shopping loan rates? 

New Jersey is very tenant friendly, so avoid the courts if you can.How much do people normally offer when they do cash for keys?

I would love to buy Real Estate and flip it, but I do not have any where near the required capital for it.Other than speaking with Real Estate individuals on a normal basis, I do not know much about it.

SO it would take OVER 6 foot tall person to hit head,,,would the 'expect' to duck under in OLD house,OLD basement???

I'd keep her security as well to go towards her owed balance.I've never heard of filing for eviction AFTER someone has already vacated.I think it's more common than we'd normally think.

Those kinds of weeks work on houses slows.Now normal people, I would think would encourage their parents to buy, fix,rent,hold and build worth AND do as they darn well please with the few years left. 

We have full time jobs, kids, normal life...have a flip that needs to go rental, need managing company. 

I guess I'm like most newbies, trying to find good footing and looking for direction.

(Normally you might not expect to find such positive numbers at full asking price).Remember, what the market pays for it now IS its market value!
