@Tyrel McAllister In my younger days, I wanted at one point to start a business selling novelty baseball caps, we entered the investment pitch wearing off-color hats for comedic relief and were dismissed rather rudely before we could even begin.

I’ve Just received today one of his emails...definitely it looks like one of these typical emails from scammers....stay away!

Not a lawyer - but typically the home inspector is liable for only the cost of the inspection.

@Anna M. make sure the current lease does not have a provision for automatic yearly renewal. if it does not, it does indeed transfer to month to month. typical state law says you must give tenant one full rental cycle of notice of lease change. this means if you want them to sign a new lease, you have to let them know before jan 30, to take effect march 1. unfortunately because you are closing jan 2, you cannot give a full months notice, to take effect on feb 1. you can request moving closing up into dec though if you want, and sellers are amicable, but if you are not increasing rent I doubt it is an issue, since the current lease was provided by a PM company.

David, auctions are typically as-is where-is with no warranties either express or implied. 

Typically its because the first appraiser is just a goof and doesn't know what they're doing.I really think the problem is that they see what we paid for the properties and just assume there's no way we could have gotten such a huge discount so they find irrational ways to comp the property "down".But that would be my suggestion in your instance.

My practical side says if I were living there, I'd want a self locking knob if I'm outside without my keys at least the bottom knob would be locked or ff their hands are full and they park in the garage they would typically close the garage door and then exit through the service door.Any thoughts or should I just add a passage lever there too along with a deadbolt?

Does the price typically depend on the sale price or are you seeing a flat fee approach regardless of deal size?

So in reality you would only be saving 3% and there would be less motivated buyers viewing their home, which typically results in lower offers and ultimately a lower sales price. 

I do not typically suggest selling off positive cash flowing investments unless you have a clear plan with what you are going to do with the proceeds of the sale and the next investment has better cashflow.
