Do your homework BEFORE you lose money.I almost did, when we explored purchasing a condo in a very well visited European summer vacation destination in the Mediterranean Sea, Mallorca Island (completely a dream by the way).

. -- but the government has not issues with them, because no one has reported them.I am perfectly willing to abate lead where it is a legitimate concern, but some of the stuff the report brings up is kind of outrageous, and doing everything the way the government wants will cost $22k (I got an estimate from a professional certified to do lead abatement).I know no one can tell what the exact rules are in my local area, but I'm curious if anyone has ever been in a similar boat -- had a tenant get a government agency to inspect a house for lead, or dealt generally with HUD's lead abatement requirements (which are what my local government's rules are based on).

I've had it for over 10 years, so it is awesome to get that kind of rate. 

Those couple of positive reasoning is the demand and/or it was preleased for a few years by someone I felt very good about.If it is in a bad neighborhood, I would do everything I could do to minimize my visits there. 

Hello all,I'm new to the BiggerPockets website but visit the website and listen to the POD cast everyday. 

For some reason, I have the idea of putting together a detailed binder of my plan, markets I'm eyeing, different number projections and scenarios, etc. and understanding that binder backwards and forwards and pitching the plan to potential lenders.Is there some kind of 'checklist' of documents, figures, etc. that I can refer to in order to make sure I have everything on hand that I might need when addressing lenders' concerns and questions, in order to convince them on my plan?

It kind of matters what makes you happy. 

I grew up there and visit often.

@Jason Ryerson, That's kind of a "green or blue" kind of question. 

I would recommend to visit NJ REIA meetups.
