@James BridgesPlease keep in mind the multiple loan rules:Under those rules, the sum of the balances of a participant's outstanding 401k loans under a single 401k plan (using the highest outstanding balance of each loan over the last 12 months) can't exceed 50% or $50,000 whichever is less.

We pay between $600-1000 for the attorney we use, which includes a title search where they make sure it is clean and there are no outstanding liens on the property.

The Order went into effect on September 4, 2020, and prohibits residential landlords nationwide from evicting certain tenants through December 31, 2020.

No need to go further afield until you are more seasoned as a landlord and know this is something you like to do.Andrew - Investor and Insurer of multifamily properties (nationwide)

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/cdc-lacks-legal-authority-to-ban-evictions/The author of this article correctly conjectures that this nationwide moratorium on evictions, issued by the CDC, will be challenged in court.

That's when its very important to do your due diligence and have the owner provide proof of rents and find out about any deposits outstanding.

Hi guys, I live in a townhouse and currently in the middle of refinance just waiting to hear back from the underwriter, and everything should be good to go.The outstanding balance of my mortgage is $150k and the value of the house is somewhere between $300k-$330k.Reason I'm telling that is because even though it will be my first rental property, i don't need to do house hack and I'm in a pretty good shape financially.

(Chubb and Nationwide) Curious to hear from others who have been through something similar.

They can verify any outstanding liens, what state the title is in, etc.

Also, if they have an outstanding mortgage on this property I will not be able to consider seller finance, correct?
