It's a bad idea to run water supply pipes within exterior walls, just for the reason in this post - pipes can freeze.

However, if it has been vacant for months and another prospect might not come along for a while, you might want to give her a chance, maybe with a cosigner.I also agree with the above poster though that if she has recently gotten hired and can supply a letter of acceptance, it wouldn't be as big of a risk, and then the only question becomes if you'll accept the $50 less.

Another thing you can do to minimize your time involved is take out stuff that breaks down....garbage disposals, ceiling fans, etc and have them supply the washer and dryer.

Has anyone had any success with forming partnerships, where one partner would supply all the financing (house cost/material cost..etc.) and the other partner did all the renovation work for flips or MF rentals?

Here is the latest for example: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/03/21/feb-existing-home-sales/2004761/orhttp://www.thenichereport.com/breaking-news-2/finally-more-homes-for-sale/All of them say that "professionals expects home values to end 2013 up an average of 4.6 percent and rise cumulatively by 22 percent, on average, over the next five years" and that "the supply of homes for sale is beginning to rise"My question is how can it all influence REI and how in general should everybody analyze when to buy and when to wait.And i would also love to hear your predictions.Thanks in advance for your reply!
