Try to focus on a target area and get to know it very very well to minimize the chances of buying the wrong deal. 

It sounds simple, but depending on how many documents/checks you'd be signing, it might be easy to slip up.My instinct is to say that if you need to ask the question, chances are that it's better to keep your life simple and just personally be the member of the RI LLC and have it be separate from your MA LLC.But I'm not a lawyer or an accountant and you should probably ask this question to one of each to get advice for your specific situation.

Thank you @Mike Burkett i would love to get that calculator when you have a chance.

I’m curious what questions and topics you’d be interested in hearing about if you had the chance to interview experts in the field of real estate.

If you're familiar with North Dallas - it's near Walnut & Audelia :/Her condo is in need of a full interior renovation, but she doesn't have the money for additional improvements.

If they had gotten away with it with their previous landlord, chances are, they feel, they can get away with it with you.... so they will try.

Chances are they’ll leave you with an empty unit in the winter when it’s harder to fill.

I think most primary residences feel that way just because there is always something to fix or improve, but especially in a market like San Diego just going to bed at night and waking up the next morning tends to mean property appreciation. 

OR use this as a chance to renegotiate and try to reduce the price based on projected impacts.  

And what are my chances of getting approved for an FHA loan with decent credit?
