When a landlord has a tenant that regularly pays late, as this one would if not corrected, it is always the landlords fault for not having enforced their rules.If this tenant again pays late your next step is to post a pay or quit on the 2nd of the month. 

If you're bringing in regular business, the title company will usually work with you to keep fees lower, you just have to ask.Also, there are other advantages to working with a title company besides the insurance aspect. 

Flipping is a regular old self-employed job... would you start a company with only remote employees that you have never worked with in the past?

Hi,So I am digging into the seller financing option since it seems like a very effective method for getting in with little money down and not having to deal with banks.Something I am wondering about, is if the seller financing option works like a regular loan where you can refinance and just pay off the principal at any point. 

(Everyone evaluates differently)4 Units - Section 8 (S8) Approved - 2 Unit with Section 8 tenants and 2 Regular tenants.

Are you meeting with certain people on a regular basis?  

I ran into this making an offer on an MLS shown as an 8-plex, but upon checking with the City found it to be a 7-plex - - a wash room had been (illegally) converted into a 1bd/bath.The seller was a BROKER (gulp) and I told him I would seek to get his licensed revoked if he did not cancel the escrow and refund my EMD - - which he did.

Also, listen to the BP podcasts -- they regularly have guests who live in SF or LA or NYC and who are successful investors.

You'll have a tax return for that state in addition to your regular ones, but no biggie there.

Most tenants probably aren't going to want to do that on a regular basis.Renters with children or pets will appreciate a large backyard that is fenced.
