I'm talking to one owner who has freely admitted to allowing tenants to make modifications to the property (some sound large, like a partial bathroom addition/remodel).

I'm wondering if anyone from SE MI can recommend a home inspector that is also a structural engineer or foundation expert.

Specifically, you should ask about the line "Are there any physical deficiencies or adverse conditions that affect the livability, soundness, or structural integrity of the property?"

Structural repair, including putting in a damn floor joist - $4200.

"Investor Friendly" meaning they understand how investors structure their deals which are usually assignments and double closings.The same goes for Real Estate attorney's if you decide to use them as well.

I agree with @John Jackson , @Bill Walston is your man.As I do mostly Lease Option Assignments and Sub2 acquisitions, its all ordinary income.Write off as much as you can with good tax advice and the proper entity structure.

If you're the type of person who needs structure, I'd suggest taking classes, but if you'd rather read a few hours every night and on the weekends, I'd suggest that self study route.

Hi all,For those who have purchased a home where the seller carries the financing, how have you typically set up the payment structure?

Floors are solid oak except tile in kitchen and bathroom.

How would I structure the deal?
