I'm getting married in September of this year, purchased a new house that is being built in a development that is slated for completion in October, work 9:00 - 5:30 at a Health Inforamtion Technology vendor as an systems integration specialist.

To buy a property at 70% ARV minus repairs would probably mean that you don't have working plumbing & electrical and you may even be living with mold or some other health hazards.

Here's a link to the official downloadable contract Louisiana Buy/Sell Agreement.

Today I listened to #79 and I'm officially caught up.  

I find this as slightly odd, as all the notices and paperwork in the windows of the house were dated from 2011.I have not called them yet as I just got the information tonight, but I have located them on Facebook and all seems well with their health and financial wellbeing based on what they have posted.I am new to real estate and would appreciate any help and advice.

Rents are up.And the insanity in North Dakota is now official.

Typically they will only perform repairs for items that are considered "health and safety" issues, and not being able to take a hot shower isn't considered a "health" issue. :) It doesn't hurt to ask, and maybe tell them you'll have to cancel the contract because you won't be able to get the financing you need if it's not fixed.

George, your option is related to your financial health.

Then again----each to their own.I was living high on the hog a few years back and then health issues took me to my knees and I lost everything.

So, no official property manager.So, my question is ....Advice on best and most efficient ways to collect rent given this situation?
