I still have a list of contractors (electricians, plumbers, etc) that I know and trust but it would be far too expensive for me to use them every time a tenant has an issue.

That sealed the deal for me. 

@Chuck Kautz If you buy on credit, that means you'll have financing - the note itself is a form a of litigation deterrent as there will be little to collect in case of a judgment forcing you to sell.

And once they know you, very little paperwork.The downside is that the terms are not as good, usually 20 year ammort with a 5 year term for me.

Hello,I am in need of a lawyer to help form my LLC.

It's not good form to have one agent show you a property and then buy with another agent.

Some form of this question comes up on these forums every day it seems.

From the city guys coming out the guys doing the work for me. picked up two more opportunities in the same neighborhood as they felt I should make offers on the houses because the owners are being fined but not pulling permits and doing Shady work.II had an ex partner I used to tell him he'd step over a dollar to pick up a nickel busy try to cut corners. in this business it's very easy to do the right thing pull a permit do the right correct work and it'll pay off in the long run. in this situation before I would close on the unit the gentleman mentioned above I would call the city inspectors and get their opinions on things now it might even help you be able to lower the purchase price.
