I one get low appraisals and I can do anything about it because I’ve tried fighting them and bringing my own comps and having my realtor meet them, but the fact is I.

Paying off a mortgage is almost always not optimal if you are trying to make money.

I tried to get a Home Equity on my house so I can hope to fix it up and rent it out but the bank told me my mom has to agree to it.

I've been considering trying to break into the game as a photographer.

@Conrad Legé In addition to what others have said, I would call the listing agents of the pending listings that you are trying to use as comps.

This is actually my Grandfather's property that I am trying to get him a monthly cashflow since he is now in an assisted living situation.

In my case, I own a property that they keep trying to bill me for things like grass cutting and trimming shrubs--they claim they are sending property preservation folks to my house often. 

I am just an average Joe trying to sell our house to investors (ski resort town three hours east of SF if anyone is interested) - I just wanted to check in and see: Is it common for an investor to insist on entering into a contract before they inspect (where they have 2 weeks to inspect and cancel if they don’t like what they see & if they do they will close within one month)?

I never applied for a Unit that big and was wondering if I should try to get a loan (even though I don't get much income right now). and if how what is the process, is there a way to get the loan without putting money down, etc. the only reason I am asking this is I have no experience in this and it practically me jumping from one house to a 14-unit and am trying to figure out if this is a right move. 

Hopefully you are on MTM and you can just part ways and try to find another place to conduct this business.
