I thought I was getting an amazing deal but what I'm ending up with is; essentially locked into closing on house where everyone expected the current tenant to leave cooperatively however, he is now planning to stay indefinitely without paying rent until getting evicted.

I've found the product to truthfully be better than an Anderson 100 series window and while I've been fortunate not to have any maintenance issues thus far, my supplier who I've worked with for a few years and trust has made a point of emphasis in saying their warranty response is excellent.

Finally, my husband and I were pre-approved for our first deal.

It's too bad no one shared this with you during the transaction since several people involved with the deal surely knew this requirement.

BiggerPockets is indeed an excellent platform for expanding your knowledge and networking.

If you want something free excel would probably be best. 

I'd look into tenant laws for more specifics.That said, there are many investors who are successfully executing deals in the Bay.

, I explain, I want to earn your trust for deals I have studied and that I am a bigger pockets PRO member.I can not always get on as I wish as I work.

Jimmy's post on the other thread does not appear to violate forum rules, but I upped the ante on the challenge you threw down on him to produce an example of these deals. 

Some markets are excellent for short term, and others not so great.It depends upon your goals, your temperament, and the time you have to invest.
