I feel your pain.

It is sad to see such a successful CEO, Businessman, and Role Model have to leave the company he created due to health reasons.

Unfortunately, the note holder is a 75+ your old widow with a disabled adult daughter so she's very unwilling to extend it because her health is ailing.Do you know of anyone who would be a private lender that might be interested?

Upon formal inspection for Home/Pest found unpermitted electrical/plumbing/foundation/HVAC work that is a section 1 safety/health problem.Bank won't reduce price to meet rehab costs, looking to call county permit office and place permit violation liens on the property to see if bank sees them as more serious issues and reduce the price.

I personally either use cash or owner financing, banks are just too much of a pain in the butt!

With that said, mobile homes are a pain. you have fees from the parks, banks will not lend to anyone on them, and your tenants/buyers are usually a lot of work to deal with.What is your motivation to work with mobile homes instead of a traditional home?

You need to call your insurance provider.They will tell you a list of what is okay and not.Mine no aggressive breeds of animals is permitted or they will pull the policy on all the buildings.Rottweiler,Pitt Bull,etc.Some insurance policies have weight exclusions but some do not.Another important factor is the BITE HISTORY of the animal.If it's deemed a non-aggressive breed but that little dog has a bad history of biting people then I won't take the animal.I don't like pet deposits.You have to hold it like a security deposit.Instead I like a one time "pet acceptance fee" that is non-refundable.The tenants will say the pet won't do anything etc. but the amount of pet deposits that actually go back to the tenant after they leave I would guess is very,very small.You can also get the tenant to pay a pet fee per month.With the pet fee you need to figure out the cost of the unit for new carpet and damage to the base boards.The cost to be carpet,pad, and labor to install plus baseboard finish and paint.Used to you could put a vapor barrier between the carpet and the pad but it would be really noisy.Now if you spend just a little more you can get a scotch pad made out of rubber that is stain resistant.Then when you go to replace the carpet the pad is still good.Have in your lease that the tenant will be responsible for clipping claws,neutering,getting rabies and other shots to maintain the health and well being of the animal,etc.

I'm currently an Assistant Director at a large community health center, but would like to transition to real estate investing full time within a year's time.

The true judge of a building's health will come with the resale certificate and careful audit of their financials, minutes and governing documents.

Does the Portfolio Manager assigned to you see financial rewards, and see financial pain by the gains and losses of owners and tenants?
