Which means essentially, I have to seek permission from the the Historic Preservation Committee.  

As long as your dwelling coverage limit is equal to the "agreed value" or "$x" you will not be subject to any coinsurance penalties.The endorsement essentially says all original terms apply, but the they are based on "agreed value" not "estimated replacement cost".

From a practical standpoint it appears a landlord should be prepared to wait 6 months to clear the existing tenant and/or come to some kind of agreement with tenant to move--I would not call it extortion, but with financial assistance apparently available for deposits, an existing tenant has a lot of leverage over a selling landlord.Are you thinking that DCHA makes the payment to a tenant to relocate them prior to the end of a lease rather than the landlord as well as that DCHA essentially has to sign off on any eviction/termination with cause that is prior to the end of a lease term (and it appears that can only be after the first 12 months?)?

Chris,If you invest at trustee sales (or sherriff sales) as well as other time sensitive investments, chgeckbook control is essential/necessary.

The second company makes a loan to the first company, secured by a mortgage or deed of trust.Again, legal help is essential.

Call it a script or call it preparation, but I see it as essential preparation for communicating with prospects.Here is an old realtor "for sale by owner" script that has done me very well over the years.

It may become a landlord issue when housing or health codes require it because the property’s conditions violate health and safety codes.As you mentioned Brian, when I purchase a multi-unit I will likely go under contract with a pest control company because, in this type of dwelling there will be more people in the building with different characters (some clean, some not so), but in a single family home (since I’m not required to) I think the tenant being the only family there, and having more control over the presence or not of pest being in the home should handle it, unless of course we’re talking about termites.I’m all for pre-move in pest control.

And if we're really heading to financial Armageddon, I don't think owning the shiny gold stuff will matter, either.You'll want to own the physical essentials: a lot of land and the means to grow/raise food on it; access to energy; and guns/ammo.

I was also involved in door to door sales before investing, and it was always essential for each of my sales people to understand the concept of the "numbers" game.

You have to say no - in writing, on the lease, and specify safety as the reason.
