We have done a number of Wrap mortgages and we like using seller financing this way a lot.Banks executing DOS clause for performing notes is EXTREMELY rare in our experience.As long as their payments come in every month and the home remains insured, it would be really surprising to see the bank call the note.   

Hello and welcome to this site Robert! 

The highest quote was 12k, however, one waterproofing company where I knew the owner ended completing the work for 5k.Choose one market out there and stick with it, build a reasonable big operation and show people that you are a performer and not a hobby landlord.

You can also look through for sale by owner on zillow and other sites. 

The townhouse is a short drive to the future Raiders practice facility and supposedly the site of various new construction projects (malls, high rise condos, etc.).  3. 

You may come out ahead renting and banking excess in short term investments or you may come out ahead buying and having significant appreciation, but who knows how the real estate market will perform in the next few years with interest rates rising and such. 

I’ve been reading about simply scanning obituaries, crossing your info on accessors site for ownership of real estate and then contacting family but that seems like a small shot in the dark.

My husband and I are looking for recommendations for sites that do the tenant background screenings for you (criminal history, evictions, debt in collection, etc...).

I'm happy to see a fellow architect on this site.

The site is treasure trove of hand on experience and also many professionals to get where your real estate goals are.
