Have you verified with the tenants via estoppel letters that the leases are accurate, they are paying the stated rent and that they DO pay their own utils?

I think this will help later if there is ever a fire to verify that batteries were replaced, etc.

Yep, its a political....no, it's not, it's an initial assumption and it was passed on as it was received, if they (WH) made a mistake, they should not have been informing the public about anything except that there was a loss of life....period.

Long story short... my initial issue was figuring out where to start.

They want secure and verifiable ID, which some people do not have, or are not willing to go down the road of that type of oversight.

I would rather put down the initial payment and have someone else pay off the asset.

Marie Poe, Tim BreemsI had some initial conversation with the tenant just to figure out what his intention is but have not offered anything yet.

You first have to become very familiar with the market and you initially must spend time in the market. second you must develop a reliable team if not a property manager at least a handyman and contacts for more complicated repairs.

It helps if these repair estimates are also submitted to the bank with the initial short sale package, another reason for doing inspections after seller acceptance-not after seller's Lender approval.
