Any originator of a secondary market loan stands the risk of having to repurchase a bad loan, while they are insured the originator is not totally covered and they may see more of a reserve requirement to cover any loss, the originator may feel more comfortable at 90% where insurance coverage may be increased.

Fence repair, when I buy a property we do a total rehab, so we know most things won't break down for a little while, but we don't replace fences because of the cost.I'm in the Dallas area, and during storm season I always have sections of fence get knock down,,,sometimes its a cheap fix, sometimes its not.Utilities during rehab and between tenants

@Samson KayI totally understand this would be a much better deal if rents were at market rate, but here are a few things I would considerIs this area rent controlled?

Just like you are describing, totally unreasonable complaints - people getting ready for work, talking on the phone, I mean, c'mon.

I know the gurus say, "just put it into a trust and you have total privacy," but it just isn't so.

As total beginners, my wife and I did a square living room in a little over half a day.

She bought through Home Depot and the total price was $18K for siding, painting, trim.

I am 24, my credit has been totally shot from school loans and credit cards the amount isn't high but many deragatory accounts. i currently have 40k in the bank and want to buy a duplex. i'm assuming it would have to be owner occupant because i don't have another house to live in. my credit is now up to 633 and i've been working on it. the score for becaon score is 670. what do u thik the best route to becoming a landlord could be. i just need experienced oppinions because i'm afaid and lost.

I will still have cash in savings or income to cover at least 75% of the total project, if not the whole thing.
