Clean-out crews make a living towing away whatever is left behind.The removal of renters from their homes is also a topic of increasingly broad public concern.

I don't know if that's a reasonable concern or do you just plan on "X" number of months and hold it in reserves? 

- Any suggestions or concerns about this concept?

My biggest concern is that some of the houses right across are multi-family duplexes.

Crime is a concern, but I'm thinking with the appropriate limited liability and insurance structure this could provide a reasonable shield.

A few other things to consider:Escrow holdback: Your agent's suggestion for a $3k escrow holdback is a good start, but I’d recommend considering a higher holdback if you’re concerned about damage or delays.

One of the concerns above is not being able to do the work yourself on a 203k.

Had a few showing the other day and I fond what I thought was a great match but I have some concerns.

I am sure many though do not use their real names on BP out of privacy concerns..

This is a large established corporation so I'm not concerned, and most of my application questions wouldn't make sense.
