In the current financing environment you would think that condos and townhomes are perfect price range for first time buyers, but few are FHA approved any more and some are what we call non-warrantable which makes financing more difficult. 

Once the property is a non-owner occupied property, ELOC are much more difficult to find. 

My Property manager and one of my tenant had some sour relationship and the tenant complained Dept of public work now I got notice from them See attached imageNow my question is How can I do self evaluation on  my own to counter their charges.If these charges are valid, can I give 30 day notice to tenant to move out (Tenant is on month to month lease) so I can fix the issue, this tenant has also complained few times in past too.Any do and don't in such case

I’m new to real state investing and I’m looking at a property in sac that is a non-conforming duplex.

Especially because most of my investors would be family and friends and non-accredited.

Not only can you save 10% of gross rent but you have better control over repair decisions and you can defer non emergency ones based on your financial situation.

If its a sheriffs sale property going up for public auction at the county courthouse then you will need to do a lot of research and I wouldnt suggest that route until you are well informed and prepared. 

Research the correct way ( I believe putting in what amounts to an escrow account) and include a letter with your June rent payment explaining that per PA code XX you’re withholding $yy this month to cover the costs of non functioning systems that were included in the house.

It took a while to get through the paperwork, but it was well worth it. https://caliberhomeloans.com/ also has been helping homeowners in the city with non-perfect credit, I would give them a call. 

You may be able to evict the non-paying tenant, again upon advise of your attorney.
