But, like I'm sure you others will reply as well, you are better off to start off fresh with these vacancies as inherited tenants can be a huge pain in the butt. 

Again...if the list price is in line with the comps those are going at around the list price.If it's a SFH that is still owner occupied....those are the sellers we see as getting nervous because not as many people...including inspectors, appraisers and potential buyers are open to setting foot in those properties and it could be a pain to do a lot of other things.

I live in Newport, KY, right across the river from Cincinnati, which is currently being heavily invested in, from all over the world.I feel that now is the best time to make a run at being an agent, being young and without children, having very minimal living expenses, and being able to be covered on my parents health insurance for a few more years.I would love to hear more from successful investors who pursued investing from a W2 Career as well as from a commissioned based career.Any advice or shared experiences will be greatly appreciated!

I feel your pain.

Also there had been an issue with my mother's health that was preventing me being able to step in and do more, but that has mostly stabilized now. 

This loan type seems like it would be a pain to go through with all the different requirements.4- I don't believe seller financing will be a possibility at all.I would love to hear any other creative financing ideas that I am sure you guys have!

We have run the full gamut, from exterior pain, to residing portions of the house to going through the zoning board to do the development.

But a real pain of time and mental energySometimes even if your right and costs you a few bucks it’s better to not go to litigation to save the mental damage Always pay for good advice glad to see your visiting your attorney

If you come off as demanding or difficult to please, expect to pay more.Aside from the "picky" housewife, the landlord was the next biggest pain in the *** I dealt with.

This extra "month" helps pay down the loan more quickly (I don't have the math handy), but the "payment pain" is about the same as a true monthly payment.
