Tell the tenants to be careful - don't do excessive laundry or wash cars or fill a pool, especially late summer when the water table goes down a bit.

Its a 1950 duplex under LA county authority I am considering putting an offer on with a small closet size addon that goes along where the sidewalk to the back would be.

Well one of my friends ran a well know detective agency and said he would loan me a small locater device he had just bought several of and it so happened that several stoves and dishwashers were swiped the Saturday night after they were delivered to the site.Who was swiping them, the warehouse foreman and the delivery driver. who then sold them as bargains on a excess inventory story to unsuspecting buyers who were happy to have just happened to run into a short time bargain by a reputable company, or in some cases at full price to a buyer whose real paperwork was canceled or lost but the product delivered.

The tax info is at this web page, just follow the links for particular properties:http://www.sedgwickcounty.org/appraiser/The most interesting group is run by a realtor who has helped me a couple times and can be reached at wichitaksrealestateinvestors at gmail.com.

I'd leave out the bar-hopper comment, you might attract excessive partiers who skip work and can't pay their rent.Also, it's good that you mention a background check, but you need to list how much that will cost them.

John T Reed has a really entertaining review of... well, pretty much every guru/author ever made. http://www.johntreed.com/Reedgururating.htmlIs that what you were thinking?

I've seen here where some get throw away cells and go to all kinds of methods to hide from authorities, like they think they can't get caught.

Be clear and show all work, you’re borrower will authorize this and should understand your numbers.

Karen Margrave yes, I didn't see any other posts on this one :)There is a lot of info on the web, and I'm doing my prelim research.

author--well, one self-published book DON'T TELL YOUR MOMMA YOU'RE AN ATHEIST, and a sailing enthusiast..I may be 'jumping-the-gun' a bit here, as I have just moved into my new house (3 weeks ago) and I don't anticipate making a real-estate investment decision for another 3 years or so.
