Most of the time you cannot enter/ walk around the property.Calculate a max offer based on amount owed on liens, cost of rehab, closing costs, and with a margin for profit.If you get the house and there is a tenant, you must honor the contract (if you are not living in it) up to one year.

Heard of Project Destined??? 

She knows the kinds of property that I like and can visit a property to see how it does/doesn't match up.2.)

Unless they must have access to breakers ect. you could still just lock it.

First you must be prepared to inforce it and second you must not show any compassion or weakness in regards to perusing your enforcement.Most landlords do not have the back bone to inforce this part of the lease and generally have a defeatist attitude toward collection results.

According to the CCA rules and regulations for the city of Cleveland:5:01.I "Any person receiving rental income from any property must file a return whether or not there is any tax due."

For this I would nicely tell her excluded pets includes any visiting pets.

I know things cant be perfect, but some things I thought will be fixed:things i wanted fixed:flooring - is a bit dented on one of the units, living room - seems like they just did a quick flip, and floor tiles are not perfect and levelwasher dryer - no hookups and none present - wanted at least a hookup or one in one unitpipe diagram - this i believe should be a must, since i want to know where the pipes run behind the walls. documentation of the flip/fix so I have public records as the new owner on what they actually didrefrigerator/microwaves - this is a must, seller claims broker told me these will not be provided..Not sure what seasoned investors do usually at this point (probably they fix rehab things themselves).

When that happens you inform them that because they did not let you know it was in your box, and you did not get it till the 6th, they then owe you the late fee and you must inforce it.

The most I do is look at the properties, put in offers, sign contracts and visit the job sites to make sure everything is running smoothly.
