Real estate 101.Oh, one other remainder item:  if there is an unresolvable discrepancy holding up a closing between what the seller says and tenants state, have the title company hold an escrow for double the difference. 

I enjoy doing small handicraft type items and selling them at farmers markets on Weekends.

@Logan Koch I would have to agree with Jeremy about setting aside enough for repairs, general maint.. and large items like roof, sewer line, and misc...   

Nest's package is about $2k.Wanted to know if any one has experience w/ Nest, and if you know of other providers that have a variety of items for a smart home (and not just the security ones). 

I know right of redemption is one item in my state of Alabama.I’ve also heard the VA can drag their feet with closing.

I am getting ready to send out about 1000pcs per month in direct mail, but wanted to see what additional items/steps people take. 

Have no clue what it entails to sell or price the house, have super crocodile bath breath, have no idea what upgrades are worth, have no clue what items of their house brings value and what items do not, and what items actually reduce value (a crappy pool, a desperately needed to be torn down shed) etc. etc.Although motivated sellers, they are in many aspects worse than a blind targeted lead where you have to argue and debate trying to convince them their house is really not all that!

A single family home has a disproportionately larger expense in this one line item than multi-family because multi-family are usually stacked on top of each other and spread out sharing the foundation.  

There are no guarantees as to how long each of the needed items will take & I can only sustain for so long with the monthly payments while it is an active construction zone & not being rented out. 

Meaning, you complete a line item repair (new kitchen, roof etc.), pay the contractor, then get reimbursed by the HM lender.
