That might have gone down for a whole host of reasons but it usually decreases when the owner appeals the value based on condition, a recent sale or appraisal, etc.

I also want to get a house in their current school district (as living with this family member is becoming too difficult).

Encompass does not allow for an LLC to be named as the policy owner, only as a secondary insured.

If it shows on the deed history, Grantor is a bank and grantee is Housing and Urban Development on a special warranty deed, what does that mean? 

My husband and I have a house with no mortgage and great credit, but no cash to invest right now.

Hi BP,I own 2 rental properties in Baltimore MD and i am first having trouble deciding on whether to place them in an LLC or not (I plan to slowly scale and house hack a new property once a year).

We have a few rental units and also flip houses.

@Srinath GopinathanI don't have an exact answer for you - but would guess that it is because the the covenants and bylaws spell out what the separations are between what the HOA is responsible for, as well as what the condo owner is responsible for.  

A huge headache is just because land is for sale doesn’t mean you can put a house on it.  

Hi - I’m relatively new to the real estate game and am just starting to read multiple books involving this topic.I noticed a house being cleaned up two weeks ago, talked to maintenance people, and was in the right place at the right time to talk to the owner.
