Hi everyone,I'm relatively new to real estate investing and would appreciate some advice on my current situation.

There are some things that can cause issues with your upfront approval or end up causing a denial in or during underwriting that an unexperienced loan officer will not know or catch.One big thing to keep in mind is when you are buying more REI the guide lines require more assets and PITI reserves and a HELOC can "Never" act as an asset or PITI reserves.

Which means, three years after foreclosure, the form 1099C should have been issued at that time.

Hey Cédric, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

in summary all condo/HOA are bad investment except :- if they are located in prestigious location and/or neighborhood- they are relatively new so maintenance cost is low and predictable- they located in the market where DOM for condo is less than 10- they are located in the best school district- or they're located for resort zone/holiday zone.

The language issue is significant, this is why (you'll love this) I engaged a prospective seller to help me with the translation.

Your wife as joint tenant (even though she isn't an active manager she can still sign a check if need be), a child or trusted relative as a designated beneficiary (so the bank knows what to do with the money).

This is a property I bought 7 years ago and back then we did not do the same level rehabs as we do today.Do you run into the same issue?

If no then they need interior access to each other and having a second kitchen may be an issue. 3.

For this specific property, my current assessment is that while there is definitely improvements that can be made to the landscaping, for the neighborhood it doesn't make much sense to invest in it.Curious what others have experienced when it comes to attracting tenants in relation to investing in landscaping for LT rental properties.
