I bet a company like Whole Foods is pretty sure an area is going to grow in population and/or income before they drop a new location.Let me know if you're aware of any data sets like the ones I mentioned above.

But, money can go in the left pocket and go out of the right pocket, but they will be paying it back I'd bet.

You can do some sort of magic by not requiring them to fix things that come up in the inspection, but you'll have to fix those issues anyways.Ultimately I think if you just have everything lined up and make your first offer what you honestly want the property for, that's your best bet.

I bet just being around the young girl (with the kitten) you mentioned is a violation of his probation. 

This is important; if you and your fiance have a good earnings stream of income, this can be a good bet to get you into the property market and own a home/be a landlord with a nice low downpayment.Hope this helps!

Your attorney is right getting a quit claim would be your best bet but getting Fannie to sign that will be like pulling teeth.

And I wasn't going to do less than a week but realized, since I am not very booked up right now, that offering 3 nights or more would get me some weekend people and some reviews, and i can charge the same cleaning fee after 3 nights or 7 nights and my cleaning lady is just as happy to have more work.Of course, I don't have as nice a house as you, I would bet!

I bet you could get some great referrals for lawyers in the area on here too. 

As @Brian Burke says, might as well go to Vegas and bet on red:)

I skew more to Lesley and Jeremiah, while Alan and Jeff T would rather hold on to a safer bet with a lower yield.
