They had propane tanks & I assume they are all on septic with 'city' water.

Small aquariums haven't been a problem for us, but the large ones give off too much moisture and have the potential to cause more water damage.

Hi welcome to BP, the community here can definitely help you navigate the REI waters.

I save all of my reciepts and payments for rent,electric,water etc.

ThanksAny interesting police damage stories would be fun to hear as well!!

You mentioned two types of sound, air borne (dog bark) and structural (running water in pipes).

Commercial lenders are not going to be swayed by forecasts of 5% year-over-year inflation, they will want to know the property still holds its head above water if there is a 20% correction in property values or a 5-10% increase in vacancy.

In a lot of states, the landlord is required to pay 3x rent or 3x damages if they are found in the wrong.

You are only entitled to the damages you incurred as a result of the seller's failure to close.

You don't need a "company" (LLC, etc) yet.What you need to get started is:1) A process2) A teamKnow exactly how your process will work:a) Meeting cash buyers & understanding their needsb) Finding motivated sellersc) Evaluating propertiesd) Calculating offerse) Testing the water with your buyer(s) if necessaryf) Negotiationg) Closing via a contract/agreementh) Assignment to a cash buyer via another contract/agreementi) Receiving payment at closingFor your team, you'll need to know:a) Cash buyers, of courseb) Real estate agent(s) or broker(s) - provide comps, MLS opportunities, etc.c) Title company (preferred to have one you use for your deals)d) Attorney (required in some states)Best of luck!"
