It seems clear that we have to carry conventional and FHA loans for six months prior to refinancing.

@Carrie Cavins you're so right - and I forgot about storage space - but that is also a premium for apartment dwellers.

Home Depot and Lowe's carry UCLs that are hard wired.

I don't care if your in the nicest of neighborhoods , your next door neighbor might be a drug dealer .. who knows really .. but , its not as bad as everyone overseas thinks it is .. we don't all carry guns and shoot people or do drugs on every street corner .. most big citys have good area and bad areas .. a lit of the areas that used to be considered bad are now getting revamped and rebuilt by people like you and I .. by purchasing homes in poor shape and then rehabbed, thus beautifying the neighborhood and once one house gets done its like a dominio effect .. more investors start doing the same .. a lot if citys have funds avalible for investors to rehab certain areas also ..Yes, I look at houses of interest , I try to research what i can first to see if the house is wirth my time to put eyes on it , or if a investor sends me a house they are interested in then I go look at it for them ..

I'm guessing this would have a bigger impact on those who carry and originate notes?  

@Nathan Golding“all my properties into 1 insurance policy.” you mean you by umbrella policy only ?

If I see a house on the market that i'm looking to utilize as an investment property but I want to make an offer for the seller to carry the note, is there any incentive for the listing agent?

I carried it one step further, by purchasing a lot in building a brand-new home with built-in equity.

Careful budgeting of your spring rental proceeds is necessary to carry you through to the next high season.

People can easily break bulbs when they carry stuff; code officials in one town where I iwn rentals won't pass an inspection with those old fixtures.
