If they refuse to pay for the fix then I would walk away. 

I have a portfolio in Detroit (similar climate) and pay $75/mo for a SFH and ~$125/mo for my duplexes.

If you miss the HOA payment, which is different than the transfer fee, the person on title will be notified to pay up.

I just got $900 for a 1 br in the hood and $1700 in a C-B area! almost 2% rule!!! 

I am willing to pay 20-30% down but borrowing at 7% to buy a property with 6% Cap rate does not sounds right.

Please tell me you didn't pay them any money upfront!

Unless you're paying cash, something to consider.

As it enables you to live in one unit of a property while renting out others to pay your housing bills, house hacking is an excellent strategy—especially for first-time homebuyers.

If you hire someone to build, you're going to pay full retail price.

We did a walk through and did not smell anything 2 days ago. so afterthe complaint we said we could go there and inspect.tenant started getting really angry and complaining about other things and how much rent they pay and we are greedy.
