Offering 60% of list is not realistic at this point though I would try if you have the time and your Realtor has the patience.They will list it as such for the first 30 days (as a rule).

I'm looking at a sweet rental property deal (forget the 2% rule, this is a 6% SFH).

Is anybody familiar with the rules for Firstime Homebuyer Loans. ??

As a rule, we advise tenants that "normal" pest control is their responsibility.

Anyone know the rule in purchasing a property in Vietnam?

They will have bendable rules.3. comm broker Try to find a national one if you intend on leaving your area to buy in the future.4. title company (unless your attorney handles title work and closings)Ask for a rep and build a relationship, they can do a lot of leg work for you. be sure they do double escrows as well.5. savy accountant Make sure he/she has other investor clients.

I'd check with the local Planning & Zoning Commission, as well as the Board of Zoning Adjustments.The restriction can be specified in a variety of ways.

They pay a small upfront fee, then you kick in X each month that they pay rent on time and abide by all the rules.

SKB,Do NOT fall in love with this house.Brilliant....Rule #2 in negotiating, he who cares less wins.I think it's ok to fall in love with a home as long as you don't over pay for it. :)No offense Sir, but by nature, when you fall in love with a property, you overpay....always.

I tend to be very conservative in my pro-formas and don't generally use the 50% rule as most people do...sorry for the confusion...
