I was someone who didn't like to "half ***" things (including my relationship) so I made my last and final decision "for a girl" by taking the job.

I'm trying to line all my financials up so I can finally move off the sidelines and get in the game. 

I am interviewing several silent investors for a business we are building & looking to finalize a deal here in the next week.

I finally closed my first house in Seattle and before renting the place out I would like to make the necessary repairs and updates for the new tenants.

If you’ve already pre-screened prospective tenants, where do you actually meet them for the final interview?  

I had read that most owner occupied homes need to be lived in by the owner for 12 months after the mortgage is finalized.

Utilities you'll call and put in your name and water bill will stay with the property (at least here in Metro Detroit) but sellers will put some money with title in escrow in case they don't get a final water reading or pay that water bill before leaving. 

Finally, you need to consider how “wholesaling” is regarded today vs how it was regarded in the past.

You should be able to get the tenant to sign an agreement that in exchange for the two extra weeks they will leave by end of that final day.Waiting to see what a tenant is going to do can be really aggrevating, but the eviction process should be a last resort, and shouldn't be started if you've accepted rent. 

The only way to know is to get multiple bids.One final thought, if they are running new electrical service, you may want to consider upgrading service to 200 amp.
