Of the 12 units, only 1 is owner occupied.We've had a crappy property management company for years and I wind up performing half the property management responsibilities.

Now from the little bit of research I've done lately on tsp the g fund went up a little over 1% the best performing fund went up somewhere around 4% so if you fallow the market close enough to know what fund you need to be in its not going to be an earth shattering return.

Vincent, excellent question, I think you have to consider the depth and associate the relative nature of the performance you are seeking to return, to really drill down the answer.

But would anyone perform a title search at this point, to find this and info on other liens/encumbrances?

It's a very casual setting, just a group of people involved in real estate investing (and some still thinking about getting involved) eating together and talking about their businesses.

Inspectors keep up with current safety aspects, material performance information, fire codes, health matters like radon and lead paint issues that contractors may not be required or exposed to.

The big home buyers have cut their buying significantly and are now in selling mode to get rid of their lower performing properties.Another tid bit I heard from an oil exec, they are conserving cash to buy the small guys as they fail in this low oil price market.

I’m wondering if I can hire someone who isn’t licensed and, if so, what are the duties that person could perform.

I work as a musician and would love nothing more than to be able to invest in real estate and have the time to perform music for people.

Banks have new teeth too, for delaying a foreclosure by someone attempting to stall or say they are buying or whatever when they can't perform in the first place paying off the mortgage.
