Job loss by your tenant is typically not covered.

From the time you sign a contract with them for a new unit how long does it typically take for them to get that unit advertised for rent. 

I typically look at websites such as www.city-data.com and www.bestplaces.net.

My company mainly focuses on “C” class properties and typically does value add.  

Here PM companies are expected to provide routine checks of properties, both the commitment and cost are baked into the service offering - so ultimately the client pays (PM fees are typically 7-10%).It still falls short of what we do in-house for our own properties (one of the reasons we are growing our own capability).  

It has been often suggested here and elsewhere to pursue something that keeps a toe in the water of the working world, as it limits the downside risks, and could turn into a fruitful enterprise for post-retirement.At the request of a friend and BP associate, I've been asked to provide expert opinion and electrical analysis on residential properties that are either on the market, or recently sold through his brokerage, as there are many customers who want a deeper look at their electrical system, deeper than what a typical home inspector will do, but they are not ready to ask a contractor to come out and simply give a blank check to 'fix whatever's wrong' (famous last words).

45 days is pretty typical for a financed offer.

Those were pretty typical market rents for that area.

Going in I knew it was tenant occupied but on a month to month (but paying weekly) and it was a fast close and typically I deal with any inherited tenant situation while still in escrow and have some kind of contingency/agreement in place for that but I bought through a wholesaler this time and it was basically a no contingency deal.

For your language then, for scripts - We typically get you cashed out either way and many of ours are appraising significantly higher but what's the worst case - you and I come back and renegotiate.
