Being that I work as a paralegal for a RE law firm I see people buying investments all the time!

What I did determine in my little experiment however, that I could just knock 20% off and likely be pretty close to the actual sale price.I do have a free subscription to fastweb, another of First American's products, so i do use it regularly, and drop the numbers by 20%.

I didn't see American Home Shield listed, but it's a big one here.There's several others, so call different ones and see what they offer.

Looks like my father-in-law is about to get it rented out for about $150/mo cash flow.

I sent an email to the manager of a Texas American Title branch that we do business with.

Realtors are required by law to uphold certain rules, regulations, standards, etc.

There are tons of things you need to do to investigate a property (maybe I should write a detailed piece about it - hmmmmm): investigate liens, encumbrances, zoning, HOA . . . if you're trying to rent it out: tenant law, market rents, general landlord knowledge . . . if you're rehabbing: covenants on working, comps . . .

HUD is the nation's housing agency committed to increasing homeownership, particularly among minorities; creating affordable housing opportunities for low-income Americans; and supporting the homeless, elderly, people with disabilities and people living with AIDS.

I don't require a rental agent my father in law lives nearby.

And in all instances, there was tax paperwork (Form 2119) to fill out to show that you followed the rules.But when the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 became law, the home-sale tax burden eased for millions of residential taxpayers.
