So when you Refinance with a bank you will have a profit for cash back if you want.Even though the property is under contract keep an eye on it.  

The lease states NO PETS as well as my initial eye to eye interview.  

That's not the end of the world but I don't want to take a hit on my own investment if the mortgage-ability changes after I buy it.I hope I wasn't giving misinformation-I didn't mean to imply the FEMA zones are perfect predictors, for me it was just an eye opener that rivers could trigger a worse score than things closer to the beach.

I myself would go there personally therefore you can see eye to eye and maybe create a future business relationship.

I recently spent several hours writing down my very specific real estate goals, and also the "why" behind my goals...I plan to hang them inside my medicine cabinet and read them aloud every day to keep my eye on the ball like Grant.

Most inspections will not reveal anything that you can not see with your own eyes anyways.

I have my eye on at a 6 unit property in my smaller town of 30k people. 

If they refuse to leave, I would probably drop the issue but keep a very close eye on them.

If we look at things through the eyes of a regular home buyer we are doomed.

I have developed some guidelines for the next couple I have my eyes on:1) I wouldn't be someone's first... unless: I know them very well.
