Are there safety concerns with only one eggress from the third floor?

Sounds like there is only 1 issue truly holding up settlement.Are you two going to figure out a way to address the painting and close or sit around and wait for the contract to expire?

I am surprised that the 203K is requiring remediation prior to closing - usually that isn't necessary and will be addressed in the renovation.

and to understand how they fit together in your toolbox, as none will give you everything (e.g, insurance is required and it will cover you for many situations, but not always; asset protection (LLC) is litigation insurance and complements regular insurance, by minimizing the target and making it unappealing).If you are a new investor, probably you will not have a lot of assets and/or equity to worry about (but even that is relative and subjective to each person tolerance to risk) so I would not worry about that till you pass that risk threshold (in my opinion 100K+ in equity, maybe 50K if you are really risk adverse) and you should be primarily concerned with finding good deals and growing your business first.

Lots of ways to select location, which one is best depends on your particular area.Beyond those, I also recommend using additional filters to better differentiate your message from competitors sending to all absentee owners as if they were the same.Equity, like above, except separate free & clear from those who have a loan, and use different messages for each group, as their issues and motivations are often different.Age, someone managing rentals in their 70's or 80's is going to have different motivations then someone in their 40's or 50's.Owner location (based on mailing address), a owner that lives far from the property has different issues then someone next door or down the street.LOTS of possibilities, but hopefully that gives you some ideas.

Prudent leverage is way down on the list of concerns for many investors.On the flip side of the coin, I've heard a good quote about owning properties free and clear. 

If you have concerns about the heard mentality and its impacts on the economy I'd look at the valuations of the FANG stocks and potential localized impact they could have a RE market.5.

Look them up on assessor data base and mail letter directly to their home address?

Is it somehow possible for me to own the in-law if it is on the same lot and at the same address?
