Even better, I have learned a ton from BP and am starting to expand and purchase a few properties to keep as rentals.

I want my properties to be in proper working order from top to bottom and if something isn't working I would have a plan to take care of it prepared.

Hi everyone,Haven't been here in a while - I've been working on expanding my physical therapy practice.Found a space that will need to be renovated, and was wondering what is out there with respect to lighting?

Kinda hard to have half a house on one lot.....As a renatl, or owner occupied, a patio home can work well, I've had both sides and sold each, but one side would be fine if you have proper zoning and filed agreements concerning shared aspects of improvements.

When we were getting our start we talked to several VPs of commercial lending, and having actual numbers when presenting our business plan to them was helpful in showing them that we had done our due diligence and were capable of conducting proper analysis.

Hey BP,I'm encountering a lot of leads who have high equity in their homes but the current value is a lot lower than what they purchased it for, so they are reluctant to sell at a price that works for me (60-75% minus repairs of market value).My question is, is there a strategy out there to try to convert these leads to a deal or is this just the way of the land and a deal will come when proper motivation is present?

The time has come to expand my horizons and take my financial achievement into my own hands.

If you purchased owner's title insurance but did not get a copy of the title policy in the mail, the company you purchased it from will be stated on the HUD-1, and file a claim with them asap as I think the lender commitment documents stated they (and I) had a year to file if the closing wasn't done properly.

(at one time NYC was a dangerous place to be and not highly sought after in the early 90's)You need to expand you horizons to less expensive areas if you hope to get cash flow from rental properties, or be a very patient person with lots of disposable income to park

Once you decide on what you believe the value to be, you can submit this (best done with proper evidence such as appraisal by registered appraiser -preferably MAI or SRA) to the title company as a insurance claim.
