its safe to say you don't talk to this friend of urs anymore @Darrell Shepherd... 

Is it safe to buy a home knowing people are occupying it still or is that something to stay away from?

I have very safe job as a cartographer (map drawer) that pays a very low salary.

SAFE Act and CFPB might frown upon those sorts of arrangements these days.

My question here is, where is a good place for me to start REI, and does anyone have suggestions on legit REI education or schooling or would it be safe for me to just gather up all the knowledge I can reading through forums and the e-book provided?

But to be on the safe side I would plug in 10k in repairs.

There are a few ways the bank can mess up the foreclosure, so that the 1% safe harbor provision doesn't apply.

If you are only able to rent out the property for part of the year you need to research what the average vacancy is for that time and then bump it up 10% to be safe.... it is completely doable, but is just going to require much more research and narrowing down the values in the spreadsheet.

Is this a legal requirement in the post Dodd-Frank/ safe act world?
