You can find everything you need on here, sometimes you just have to look for it or simply ask.

The property is located in an area protected by a levee; unfortunately, FEMA has stated that they don't believe the levee would protect against a 100-year flood, and thus is still considered high-risk.Given the house was built in 1875 and apparently survived the area's worst flood in 1937, as well as others, and given that the levee apparently protects against all but the worst floods, I'm thinking of simply skipping flood insurance.

Individuals generally don't convey by SWD unless some matter is excepted out in that deed.If it's just a SWD without listed exceptions sounds too like the attorney is venturing off to where he thinks he's simply protecting his client.

Less Red Light and Speed Cameras, parking tends to be FREE. etc.As to areas, I would just suggest you use the MLS access that you have, run numbers on properties based on rent, and the usual expenses of Taxes, Insurance, Debt coverage, etc.Then once an area comes over as decent, check into if Landlords must "register" this is a new trend that provides a landlord with no discernible benefit but to simply pay a yearly fee to the municipality so they can line their coffers more.

I suppose that simply is what it is.  

@Edsiaren Ignacio , the 2% rule simply doesn't work in higher end properties unless you buy way below market.

Don't simply send payments to a seller, you need some servicing or escrow method to show payments were made as agreed.

And if the executor is dragging their feet (grief, confusion, etc.) any other heir can quickly file for executorship, and get it simply based on the other sitting on rights that will harm natural heirs.

However, the education, morals, and values of most are lacking in this business.

Is it simply you give the bank/asset manager a Price and thats it?
