Also, where I invest, anybody can go online, enter a property address, and then see the latest water charge for that property.So, if I were you, first I will check if you can also find out your water usage and cost on your county's website.

The site is pretty exclusive so I'm not too concerned that they are bluffing.Would brokers also be able to help with the ground lease process or would you recommend us speak to an attorney?

You heard my concerns lol   How do you personally differentiate between smart leverage...and well not smart?

I have slightly different rent amounts so I know who has paid and I get  them to put property address on bottom of deposit slip.You may feel uneasy about giving them your bank account number but you give out your number everytime you write someone a check.I also have starting using Zelle which is supported by the major banks.

I'm getting a certified mold inspection, but unsure of other concerns to look out for.

If you do get a FHA loan you are required to live in it as your primary address for 3 years i believe unless you refinance out of the FHA.

This property is best suited for someone with deep pockets simply looking to park cash with no concern for making money.

My analysis is that if there were lower offers, my price would be high; but no offers at all, that puts my concern in the house, it's layout, size, etc., I mean the house is not appealing.I am not desperate yet, but I could use some out of the box point of view to move forward.Thanks again for your answer Abe.Fernando.

I'm concerned that if I don't get the loan now than I wont be able to get it without a W2 job.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
