I agree with @Dawn Anastasi, @Dave Carpenter, @Jenkins Ramon and @Robert Taylor that it's much better to work with the inspectors than against them.Next time I buy a property subject to the CCI or Residential Rental Inspection program, I'm going to call the inspector during the due diligence period and request a pre-inspection.

I would like the collective input and wisdom of you, forum members, to test and prompt my further planning and pre-empting as I plan to write the contracts and do the transaction.

I'm looking to work a new list with my postcard campaign and wanted to try pre foreclosures.

Know REAL agents who have access to REOS and pre, and active forclosures.

Just keep rolling the money into additional properties, but keep adequate cash reserves.I still have some student loans that I could have paid off easily years ago, but have opted to purchase a number of properties (some for cash) instead.

He could probably deposit some cash aside from owning the land itself, but i highly doubt if he would like the idea, he would rather roll it in a business than letting it stay in the bank.The end customer is still going to be him, he won't be selling it to somebody, so I am not sure if that mkpakes it much easier or much more difficult getting the loan.If your advice is skin in game, maybe free and clear lot plus approved permits will be the best route, then shop for loans.

There are a few property management companies in the area; I'll check their listings.If I'm actually setting my rents at the area average for this size of unit, then I can let the criticisms roll off my back.

Lots of time-wasters here, so you really need to pre-qualify before you go wasting your time with quoting every single person who calls in.  3.  

That all being said, I have considered just getting a commercial loan to basically buy the properties from myself and my wife and rolling them into one loan.

Would they see me as having 2 loans on Property B (the equity loan and the mortgage loan), or would they roll all of this together and make it one loan?
