As an investor, I try not to bother my agent too much with simple questions, such as "is the listing that I saw from MLS site still active (since many of them remains active with an accepted offer)" or "is there an underground oil tank" since I bug her enough with multiple showings and low ball offers. 

You'd be surprised how much information you can pick up from other investors, when they determine your seriousness.Over the years, my business partner and I have fostered a think tank with a few other investors.

Would they want a personal guarantee and request my 2 year work experience because (embarrassingly) I don't have 2 years of solid reported income, after I graduated I worked as a leasing agent and after a year as I went to apply for jobs, the job market tanked and economy sucked.

I overpaid for houses in VA and I paid dearly for it when the market tanked.

@David Kennedy is there an underground oil tank?  

Heat system maintenance water tank repairs etc.

It's good that we have stuff filling this gap in between Fannie and the loan shark on the corner.

thanks bruce, some guys build a shark cage around the units luckily this house is in a good neighborhood with good neighbors ill be posting some more pics next week.

If there is anyone out there dealing with contaminated site issues (heating oil tanks, junk/salvage yards, auto recycling yards, etc.) or other environmental issues am happy to be a resource if it is within my wheelhouse.This has been a very scary process to leave my good job and transition to a business owner. 

Roof complete tear off in 2014 along with new furnace and hot water tank.
