The guy who owned the property is apparently very old and not doing super well health wise and he didn’t run the place on a super tight ship.

Places not to invest are obvious, just look at the news, state financial health, tax rates and leadership.

We are waiting for official quotes from an insurance agent once the report is generated.We will live in the in-law suite.

Hi everyone,After several false starts in my real estate investing journey, I feel like I’m finally educated enough to give it another try.Due to my current situation (dealing with health issues and primary source of income being disability), I don’t have the energy to do a lot of the legwork necessary to succeed in buying/evaluating/managing properties nor the income for (more) conventional loans.I do, however, have access to capital thanks to managing my money well before my health changed.

All that being said, you need to read the Board minutes and review the past two years of financial statements to make sure the condo is in good financial health.

All many/most states require is "a letter from a licensed health care professional who will state why the person needs their emotional support animal". 

Is that really a sign of health, though? 

Since the property is not yet officially  "Under Contract" until after the Attorney Review is complete, and since no home inspections or 3rd party appraisals are performed, and no EMD is collected until it is out of AR and "Under contract", the appraisal is still very much a wild card/unknown variable (especially in situations where the offer is above asking).

The official agreement, e.g.

Having someone walk through and tell me that they wanted something completely different - ex. with an en suite - after they have seen all of the pictures and descriptions was enough of a pain before the elevated health concerns was bad enough (and for some reason I get a lot of that with this little 1970s house every time it's on the market).
