In all fairness I have listened to every episode of the podcast, many of them multiple times (even the boring ones).

That is about the going rate - the unit is small so $800 is fair.

When a seller is motivated to sell he will and it’s only fair to get what he feels is the best deal.

Title insurers have essentially been forced to remove the survey exception from lender's policies so this generally only affects owners policies... but like I said, once a lender is aware of a title issue they want it resolved or insured over before closing.I would never purchase a property without either (1) a new survey or (2) a fairly recent prior survey + a survey affidavit.

Been doing a fair bit of research over the last few days and haven't seen much mention of notes and taxes.

I owe specific thanks to @Scott Trench for his book, Set For Life, which played a big part in my decision making process, as well as @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin.I've spent the last 3 years behind a desk as an MLO for one the country's biggest hard money lender, working specifically with brokers across the country to facilitate loans on behalf of their clients, and the learnings from that position and the time I've spent on BP, reading the BP publications and forums has given me the confidence to undertake this life changing pursuit.If you or someone you know/partner with is looking for financing on any upcoming real estate investment, let me know - I strive to be of value and have an extensive lender network to ensure quick terms and reliable financing.

The  purpose of your contract will be to identify the price the seller is willing to accept, a deadline, and ensure that you can't be squeezed out.

So I started a eviction process which is fairly easy and got her out in 3month, basically killing any profits I made but the experience was well worth it.

It might take longer now because they have less inspectors, but the amount of work need is fairly reasonable.  

Hey Everyone,Im new to the forum and fairly new to real estate.
