When your "WHY" is so big, so strong, so internalized...you will sacrifice almost anything (outside your health and family) and everything to succeed.

Hi Karin,The above you mentioned used to be the case with FHA flips that were probably ear marked to be sold to Wells Fargo as one of their secondary market conditions was two appraisals if the sales price was 20% or higher than the acquisition cost when documenting the 24 month chain of title.I understand your frustration, they (Wells) just want to make sure that banks on the origination front do their proper due dilligence with valuation and documentation of the value to ensure that they will not have to buy back that paper from the correspondent lender (unless your dealing directly with Wells Fargo).Its hard unless you ask but if you find a banker who is originating loans and directly selling/servicing their government loans to Ginnie Mae(GNMA) then they may not require you to have the two appraisal and additional procedures because its not necessarily a GNMA requirement but rather banks on the front lines trying to reduce their risk and requiring these additional steps from you to protect their behinds.Generally you may find that on Flips they may need the appraiser to go out and certify that the property also passes FHA's health and safety standards as well so dont be surprised (double strapped water heater, CO detectors, etc).In the past I've had to show excel break downs of work done, invoices, bill of sale's, and others too but that was back when New American Funding sold the paper to WF (not any longer =).

So one of my tenants decides to make a complaint at Board of Health on me without even contacting me first.

Lots of income problems, lots of health problems and the costs that come with that.

It's a normal home in a descent to nice neighborhood and it's the only home with settling damage.

There is indication that there may have been water damage below the area he inhabits and I fear the worst for them if you catch my drift...How would an experienced landlord handle this situation and what landlord/tenant issues would come into play based on the health conditions of both the tenant in question and, presumably, the health repercussions of those in other units?

Section of drain pipe poorly connected into opening into older drain pipe - this is health hazard so need to rectify back entry steps need to be repaired or replacedroof drainage - Have the roof drainage system cleaned and maintained on a regular basis by a qualified gutter maintenance company, do I need flood insurance?

An engineer or a health official may take randome soil samples and provide a report.

It makes about as much sense as the sales tax on houses that the new health plan prescribes.

If by healthy you mean personal health, we are getting a Fresh Market and a new Kroger Marketplace, along with having a couple great local places like Hendersonville Produce and the farmer's market during the summer - people are wanting more and more healthier options here so it is slowly but surely happening in Hendersonville.
