My fiancé and I plan to live on the property and would like to see the inside to ensure we can move forward before our due diligence period is over.  

I do need three days to ensure that, however."

I am mostly concerned with keeping track of this information for both purposes mentioned.  1- to ensure I am making progress (which doing quarterly would suffice).  2- for lending purposes.  

., it sounds like it would be a good idea to plan on caulking to seal failing siding where possible, replacing boards that are too far gone, and painting the entire exterior - even though most of the house appears to be in good shape - with a quality paint to ensure that all of the siding is properly protected against moisture.  

If you are that uninterested then how are you going to ensure success when timed are tough and you are having a bad sales quarter? 

They will guide you on the process and ensure the loan is compliant.  

The city is forcing owners to keep the utilities in their name to ensure payment.

I wouldn't stop doing REI because of this, you have to put something in place to ensure payments are made on time, I would accept no late payments without an interest penalty that way u won't get messed with, if ur soft they will pay u last on the list.

I am acquiring a package of off the market properties and want to ensure that I have crossed all my T's researching items that the Title Company wouldn't always pick up. 

I need to find (1) a experienced investor to help past this first deal and (2) a great general contractor to assist with ensuring I am properly estimating repair costs.I don't know if I should be encouraged or discouraged by this post and comments regarding the NOVA market.
