If the tenant is "inherited" they would not be eligible to apply pool funds to.I think the key to this one is figuring a fee structure that makes sense.

This may not apply a crossed the board, but in my market, I have not found any SFH that could compete with the MFH that I am looking at.

The MSL number is not valid any longer.We went and looked into the windows yesterday to find out that the home has been stripped, the entire kitchen, and all bathroom cub boards, granite counter tops, fixtures, appliances, even the kitchen sink is gone.We realize that this has dramatically reduced the value of this home and we would still like to make an offer on this home hire a out of work sub- contractor to work for cash and replace everything back the way it was.The question I have is when I looked up the property records the home is still listed in the person's name that has defaulted but the clerk and comptroller's office is showing that this person has a judgement against them on this property from back in December.Is it possible that the records have just not been updated quick enough to show that the bank now owns this home?

As is too often the case, most investors only look at the ca$h involved today, not the real, long-term, value of a given product or service.When talking about "Buyer's Agent" and "Seller's Agent", the key word is "Agent"...as in the laws of agency and how they apply in your state, and in your transaction.In MOST states, ALL agents in a transaction are working for the Seller, absent any written Buyer's Agency Agreement.

I have heard from people on these boards that I can expect the operating expenses of the house I purchase to rent out would be about 50% of what I can get for it monthly.

I found out late last week, that to move out, she sold the fridge, microwave, shed, playhouse (real property) all the draperies and refuses to give all the keys back (she said that she only had one key, she has given that back).
