A true service animal actually performs a true SERVICE and is trained to do that service....see eye, people in wheel chair etc.....the nebulous "emotional support" animal is the big issue since it is way hard to define and they don't need any formal training.....and its becoming a big industry to see little jackets and vest on the internet that anyone can buy.

The City of Independence stated that they have been trying to get USREEB to fix the issue for almost 2 years & I was never even notified of such issue.The tenant moved out Aug 2017 & the property management company kept charging me utilities upwards of $400 when the property was vacant & did not/could not provide me proof or answer why.The bottom of the kitchen sink cabinet was missing & had fungi growth that was never cleaned and replaced.

Since my fiancé is not on this mortgage, could she purchase a piece of property and utilize the easier lending for a first time home buyer?

Selling a piece of land with utilities to the site, zoning use approved, scraped and cleared land, etc. is very different then selling a piece of land with an old house on it for a tear down and lot had to be cleared and graded.As a commercial developer if a seller wants a quick sale then it will be a low cash offer.

They include loan payments, taxes, insurance, utilities, and any other costs that occur during the Rehab period and up until the property is fully rented.  

I am going to put an offer on a bank owned REO, but the issue is that all the utilities, i.e. heat, water and electricity have been shut off.

Should I focus on using only the cash I have for the investments or utilize the HELOC as well?

I chose to look for jobs in the industry.

Been a Pro Member for a couple months now but haven't really utilized the discussion boards as much as I should have until today my wife ran into a conundrum. 

There is also something to be said about using forms that are "industry" standard.
