(c) If after a casualty loss the rental premises are partially unusable for residential purposes and if the casualty loss is not caused by the negligence or fault of the tenant, a member of the tenant's family, or a guest or invitee of the tenant, the tenant is entitled to reduction in the rent in an amount proportionate to the extent the premises are unusable because of the casualty, but only on judgment of a county or district court.

I’m looking for a service or website that scrapes all the relevant data (date of deed, original loan amount, address etc) from forclosure notices when they’re published in my area, and then turns that data into a 1 page “cheat sheet” for each property.

It works sort of like this, but not exactly, so only use this as a guideline: deduct the closing costs from your loan amount, then using your actual loan payment, calculate what the interest rate would be on this amount instead of your actual loan amount.

You probably already are aware of this...but just in case you don't...be aware that with an FHA loan you will be required to live in the property for a certain amount of time.

I like the idea of capping the amount you will pay. 

If the numbers work and you can get the deal done, it's probably not a bad deal.One thing to remember when dealing with time capsules - an enormous amount of building codes have been adopted since the 60's, so you would do well to get a good GC that works on old stuff to come and do a walkthrough before you get too far.  

Flying out or getting multiple bids as crazy as it seems is more expensive then just paying (a higher amount) to get it done quickly. 

With regard to paying people to stand around, my thinking is to start with a part time employee with the intent of within a moderate amount of time ramping it up to a full time employee and perhaps 1-2 additional part time employees.

This will be my first commercial loan due to the amount of units I am acquiring.My assumption is the loan would require: great credit, at least 25% down payment, and reserves?

If you do not refinance, do you take on massive amount of debt and just collect the small difference between your investment property expenses and income until you fully pay off the loan?
