The support office is manned 24/7/365.

If not, give me a call at my office.  

I did not bother going after the property management office, but if your infestation is not treated properly your new tenants may go after you.

Yeah, so I found a much more intelligent escrow officer that walked me through how to do this legally and even sent me the proper forms, HECK YEAH BOY!  

Plus you need to see the comps from the MLS,if any from a good real estate agent to determine what the property is worth now and after you make repairs and improvements.Equity is determined by the amount of money owed to the bank and what another person is willing to pay for it today in " As Is" condition.Get a good contractor to walk the property with you to determined the current physical condition and what it would take to repair and decorate it to modern standards and bring it to its full After Repair Value.

We hope to start next week.The plan is to have one side one large office rented to one business, and the other side will be executive space to be rented to 2-4 clients needing smaller offices.

I also have tried down at the permit office to find out of homes that have been  issued a violation for not cutting their lawn, too much junk in the yard and things like that.  

Bad areas are BAD.A good strategy is to buy within easy commuting distance to the military bases, and rent to an officer.

If the future buyer goes ahead and asks their loan officer if there's a problem with getting financing because the property is located off of a Class VI road and the underwriter catches wind of it, well now its out in the open and they have to look at that and take it into consideration. 

if socouple things.1. have realtor write it up on their standard forms.2. go to the local office depot and look at the forms you can buy there that are generic.
