You buy the house for "a deal" and then someone comes and buys that deal from you, pays you a spread, and doesn't realize they could have bought it for your deal, ten days earlier?

Depends on your state and I'm assuming you have the basic stuff about lease termination, eviction, etc.A few we like to add:- if you don't change filters, then tenants pay for a full duct cleaning- charge an admin fee for all HOA notifications, not just violations- Clear tenant responsibilities- Fees for adding or removing tenantsBest of luck!

I also have to pay him out my pocket an amount after closing, since the seller's  agent wouldn't share more than 1% of commission apparently.

I would pay for metal so you don't have to worry about it.

Find a good eviction attorney and pay them to fix this problem.At the same time, I recommend you look for a professional property manager to handle your rental and keep you out of trouble.

Thank you in advance.Also as far as what I put in the letter, I usually say that me and my partner are looking for properties that need work, and can pay cash and offer quick closing.

BP lenders by and large are fine but they but a small fraction of lenders out there.. the lenders on BP have to pay to be there..

The townhome has appreciated in value to about $350k (per Zillow and RedFin) over the few years I’ve owned it, so estimating $150k in equity, about 45:55 self to bank equity ownership.The townhome now has a leak that has lingered and gotten worse over the few months waiting for an insurance claim decision, ultimately being denied coverage so now I’m stuck with having to cover the entire expense.I’m also considering selling the property once it is fixed so I can take the funds from this 1 single family property in Houston to apply towards funding a possible multi-family property in Austin, TX.The quotes to fix are around $15k-$20k, which I’m not excited to just pay out of pocket, nor do I think I really can at this point in time.

There are 90 day seasoning lenders, there are even 0 month seasoning lenders as well but you pay for it in the rate.

Depending on location they can cost a lot to replace but when you factor in what you save from paying sewer bills it’s cheaper in long run.It would not stop me from buying a house
