Eh I don't care its legal all over now.. but if they have a 550 fico and cant explain it ( like it happened because of 08 to 2010 that's a problem) also non payment of support for kids.. don't want to do business with any of those dead beats LOL.. you know what I am saying.. 

before careful of certain HMLs some of them have hidden fees and charge you extra during the closing statements.

Any other newbies care to join me?

My mom wants nothing to do with the property and don't care what I do with it.

I never meet the rest of his family but he has a young 5-6 yr old or so son with him when he looks at the house and they seem good - I'm told his 19yo daughter will live with him until she gets on her feet and gets on her own (was led to believe it would be short term) - then another young 10yr old or so boy and his tenants newlywed wife (he was getting remarried in his 40's).So fast foward to now - I had good relationships with my neighbors - asked them to look out for me and they knew I took good care of my house. 

Tread carefully.

@Jason Wear I feel the exact same way, I’ve never cared more about learning new things as I have in the last few years in real estate.

I know the house hacking concept but we rent in a really nice neighborhood and we have no plans for buying primary residence, I was want to start rentals buy and hold for passive income later refi and get the next one ans so on....

Take Care!

Since the sister takes care of the mom she has been handling majority of the business.
