Yep videos will have some clickbait headline and they will be able to predict what is happening and then why you have to pay and take their training, which the real reason is because they probably just completed another ch 13 or 7 BK or have lawsuits you the wazoo and looking for fresh meat to take money from.

Or just trying to make sure there’s no heat, A/C, cooking,  or hot water whenever the power goes out?

No one likes to say things in writing :) the former inspector for JP Leo Cook has stepped away and the “new guy” has gotten decent reviews from contractors for common sense.2) much of this is almost certainly grandfathered.

Quote from @Joshua Cook: My Current Real Scenario:I have a primary residence in FL with a VA home loan attached to it with a 2.2% interest and only 10% of my money in the home and the value, though dropping, is almost double the mortgage.

@Greg Cook- 1) rental income from the new  home you are  buying should be  usable for  part of qualifying income  2) a protion  rental income from another owned  rental  property should be  usable even if  propererty was  acquired  6 months  ago 3) the  new loan for the 2 property would need to be a  rental property loan and not a " second home loan "

I bet they're cooking.....or worse.

Unpopular opinion: The current tenant and lease make 0% difference to me- I'm buying a property because of the way I know I can make it perform, how it's performing today doesn't matter to me at all.

Flipping is the only area of investment that seems risky to me at the moment.

.-- Maybe renter cooks spaghetti for a long time long in the tiny unit.-- Maybe mini-splits are too big and not running enough.-- Maybe mini-splits mounted too low to grab higher humid air (hot air rises).-- Maybe it's an air circulation problem, ask the renter to put a small 9" fan (like a Vornado) on the floor in the doorway (pointed up at a 45% angle) in the bedroom.
