You teach people how to treat you, and in this case, you are teaching your tenant that she can claim "accident" and you will fall for her sob story and assume because she is Section 8, she can't pay for the repair (a not always true assumption, I might add).I assume you have a lease, and that it states repairs caused by tenants are their responsibility.

ive just heard that you may not get your money back if deal falls through ...thats why im concerned. ?

These figures are put out by Realtors and builders usually to form public opinion and generate business, if prices fall, it's time to buy, if prices are going up, it's time to buy now.Marketing public opinion and attitudes I'd say and totally useless in reality to a RE investor dealing in a local market.

Never know if you'll get hit my a Mack truck or fall off a building. :)

If you fall.

If they houses don't fit the Flip numbers it could still fall under the buy and hold criteria.What is the ARV, est rehab, rent rate, and seller asking price?

As suggested, attend some of the meet ups, listen and become involved and everything will fall into place.

22% Cap rate is the range of the world falling down around my head though.

Say a pipe in a wall bursts, a tree falls, or AC goes out in the middle of summer.

Is it about ready to fall over?
