Questions for those more experienced.In the beginning stages of locating and securing property for investment purposes, confusion may arise as to what steps should be taken and in what order.My thoughts are that you should make every attempt to get pre-qualified by a lender, prior to even locating a property for investment.

In my area, 12-14% is the norm.Try to secure an interest-deferred period of time (like 3-6 months) especially if you are just going to turn around and refinance.

It does not apply to a business purpose loan secured by these properties, owner occupied or not.

Plus, I have a secured line.

I wondered what some of those benefits might be and if it would warrant a little extra effort to try to secure the one end unit owned by another party.Thanks for chiming in.

Hello BP,I'm just getting started into investing in real estate-- I also work for a company that offers access to all genres of attorneys to the general public for a low monthly fee.

The public records of who has the deed / title and who pays the taxes on the property will give you the answer.

I am collecting the pro-rated amount + first month + security deposit.Here is how its stated in my lease:Tenant hereby agrees to lease the Lease Premises.

(This one I did put on the market for 2 months) but then just had to have a tenant in the property with a signed lease and paid up rent for a month with security deposit.

Call the police for bomb disposal now, I'd explain that it's been disclosed, it is a public safety issue.
