This small stuff is never an issue for me (yes, it's a pain) and the goal is a happy tenant.

I know they are a pain in the butt.

He sounds like a pain.

Most times if it the property sits on the college's large amount of land, their administration will have the final say.

These types of escrow accounts are often required to make a loan, but are rarely to the benefit of the borrower (unless the borrower has an administrative or budgeting issues).

This didn't start with our current administration or the previous one.

So in my market Georgia I get contacted by many sellers.Had one tonight that owns 7 properties.Did an analyses for them and the solds were at 19-25 sq ft.They had older houses they put money into built in the 60's and 70's.Sadly they are trying to compete against a wave of recent bank foreclosures built in 2004 and newer.They appreciated my help but said they will wait to find the right buyer who will pay what they have put into the property.They said market is improving.I showed data that SALES are improving but price is flat to declining as banks put more inventory on the market.So the seller will endure 3 more years of pain waiting to get their money back.I venture they will give up somewhere along the way.I told them to try and sell owner finance with some down to offload them having to manage the property and get cash back in the deal.They own free and clear.So this is what I am seeing is get what you can now or accept you will have a headache for years and years to get to a point where you feel you get enough.What have you been seeing from sellers??

So far I am about 30days late to close on a property I find to be a great investment. The property has been the easy part the financing has been a nightmare. I’m getting a FHA/ FHA 203K loan and I have everything need...

Without those, your end buyer will need to have a FCA (Fair Castle Administration) insured loan.

Tightly screening tenant-buyers will make this business a pleasure or pain for the average investor.The method by how you sold/rented the home will matter as to how you will be evicting them, foreclosing, or suing for some sort of non-performance issue.Who is holding the Title?
