Have a 3% earnest money refundable if you cannot get a mortgage after 12 months.Before signing I would do a property inspection report and be satisfied with the current conditionLastly, to prevent the seller from not paying the mortgage, I would use some kind of payment collection company like www.notecollection.comIf you do not have the 3% for the lease purchase arrangement, I would try to get a lease and a ROFR, A right of first refusal, so the landlord will not sell the property from underneath you.

Hello everyone,I've put together an extensive direct mail marketing campaign that will consist of at least 5 mailings over the next couple months.

I am now looking for a new way to collect

The reason I still take pictures is because it shows the problem areas better and it's easier to send copies to a collection agency or an attorney when going after the tenant.One last thing: I do not allow tenants to be present for a final inspection because they will try to distract you from things.

This could be a good way to get your feet wet and collect a stream of income while saving up for your next property.

I've also found that when I run a credit check many who have a fair number of accounts over 30 days in arrears (even if they haven't reached the collection stage) are to be avoided over a concern they've become too casual about living like this and thus adding another notice of a late fee (or even a threat of an eviction) doesn't seem to bother them very much.Gail

How is the difference collected (if there is any) 2.

.- Some medical debt that no one had any idea about, or way of having any idea about, suddenly appears as a collection account on the credit report.
