But the big key in seeing what you have is in: 1.

A key issue will be whether the tenant gave you notice of things that needed repaired (like the leaks) and whether you fixed them promptly.If you don't have an attorney - GET ONE TOMORROW!

Lisa, Might help if your email indicated area you are in.

It's certainly going to depend on what type of investing you are doing.I get offers accepted on nearly everything I offer on--- but I only make offers on properties I want that have some clear indication that the seller is in a position where selling is very important to him.I buy and hold, so I am very picky about what I will offer on.

A key factor for lenders is the DSCR - debt service coverage ratio.

Once I get leads in from my website and go through the best leads for example, job transfer needing to move, 2 payments behind, and they indicate that their flexible on terms.So when I contact them to confirm what they have indicated their either wanting cash out or kind of skeptical about someone coming in and taking over on payments even though they have indicated that they are flexible on terms.

i know the key is to hard work but i'm thinking about going ito real estate as a side thing and depending on how i do i may go full time into it.i will def check out some stuff in the library and ebay!

Like Gary indicated, many people think it is too expensive until they need it.

The key to both is that you are using the buyers money?
