There are other funds etc. you can invest in that are also passive, that provide better returns than vanguard but again, they have risk involved and is a few hundred extra bucks a month worth the risk?

Because I already owned properties in Latin America and Europe, I started to answer these questions as my contribution to BiggerPockets and the forum.There used to be an international sub-forum and I was the main contributor, reason why I was invited a few years back to attend a call with CEO Scott Trench and the other top sub-forum contributors to give our advice on the last changes in the forums.

To add to this.Whenever I do a renovation and install new flooring I always screw down the existing subfloor before laying the new floor on top. 

From what I have read, providing a flexible closing date is the best thing you can do since the seller will only have 45 days to get into another property.

(g) Any federal Internal Revenue Service liens that, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not discharged by the sale, even though the tax collector has provided proper notice to the Internal Revenue Service before that date.

Through a lot of documentation, I also called out the title company for never providing me a earnest money receipted check or wire transfer - I simply got a letterhead saying the money had been deposited.

@Benton PruittThe original lender should provide a short sale approval letter noting as long as they get x at closing…The second lien holder will be more problematic.

I have a potential hard money cash provider to fund the acquisition of land and fund new construction build.

I'd be happy to connect and provide more insight into different markets.
