I had a house built five years ago and am now experiencing roof leaks.

Pin hole leak in main line discovered last night.

I think I read some post about new 'low doc loans' that will consider the income.

@Dustin Verley When you fill out the mortgage application and also when you sign the loan docs there will be a line that says that you are going to use the house as a primary residence.  

I created a simple form using google docs.  

Hi: I am looking for an attorney to provide a set of lending documents....Deed of Trust, Promissory Note and personal guarantee if possible for an experienced rehabber in the Raleigh area who wants me to fund acquisit...

Hot water heater leak?

Just have your preferred title company contact the banks title company or you can email the banks contact and explain you want all docs forwarded to your attorney for review prior to closing.

It's the landlords job to review/interpret it.Here are a few of the sources that I checked on the matter:Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs & Business Regulation: http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/consumer/housing/tenant-and-landlord/landlord-rights.html(They actually suggest you ALWAYS run a credit check on any potential tenants.)Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General's Guide to Landlord/Tenant Rights:http://www.mass.gov/ago/docs/consumer/landlordtenant073007.pdfMassachusetts Legal Help (.org) publication on Tenant Screening:http://www.masslegalhelp.org/housing/finding-public-and-subsidized-housing/tenant-screening.pdfSo, if there is such a law, I'd also be interested in seeing it.

What I am trying to figure out is if I should continue making repairs and attempt to make it cashflow positive or fix it up to sell.Current Issues: Leak in basement and retaining wall by the driveway that need repair.Minor Issues: Water pooling in backyard, deck could use work (functional, but not pretty)Has anyone had any similar problems?
