Any specific appliance or hvac stuff you look for in an initial viewing?

If everyone agrees, you can strike through it and everybody initials.

If you are REALLY unsure of yourself look for an investor with verifiable experience and partner with them.

(The mind is a powerful thing… when you say it is difficult, your mind searches for ways to verify and prove that it is in fact... difficult.)

When interest rates rise people spend more on interest and less on equity so prices stall, fall or maybe grow less quickly.Stick with Jon's initial comment.

Remember the words of Ronald Reagan - Trust but verify!

Doing it in the contract is normally sufficient but I've seen some agents who do it in any initial interactions.Also if you came across the property in your "normal" day to day work as an agent, then you have to disclose to the seller the fair market value of the property.

I verified this with assessment office.

Initiating an eviction in response to an incident such as this is generally not a good idea.

We have no way to contact the seller directly to verify all the information.
