Hello I have been listening to all the podcasts (in my car/office) but not said hello yet, i'm from Washington state, even heard Brandon in Poulsbo Wa (PODUNK WA) I have had a house under contract for some time now 6 years or so, when I paid the arrears I also took 6 months off to remodeled it , (never again, learned a ton though) I obtained it subject to existing mortgage, I sold it once Lease option, got it back, rented it out about three times, I repainted the inside (third time) last week put a FSBO sign in the yard and have sold it rent to own to a nice couple with $10,000 down and $140,000 sales price. ( I meet with them this Saturday) They have agreed to $1080 per month (I didn't say anything about interest rate but i think that is about 8%.

In order to reduce unforeseen repair costs, do you recommend the investor perform cosmetic and light repairs on the property.? 

When I do modifications, I usually like to set up a tax escrow as part of it, but the additional servicing cost and the borrowers past performance in paying taxes without escrow has to be considered. 

The first floor paid the mortgage taxes and insurance, the second floor paid me, and I lived on the third... 

I made contact, (I thought) with the correct person handling their non-performing assets.

I training lease option assignments I ask unlicensed folks that aren't licensed to go knock on doors and say that if the agent with the listing agent doesn't perform to think of them, the Rei operator, that's itProcuring cause is an issue, so getting a release from the broker of the agent is important 

We unloaded an under-performing rental property in the summer of 2014 to one of these hedge funds.  

It is the only school I could find that offers other undergraduate RED education (although in many articles it says it's the third to introduce it).

Glad to hear you bought your third property.
