What are you looking to do, buy and hold, wholesaling, flipping, extra?

Since she is only temporary, you might get them to pay extra rent for a month or two while she is there.Tell them that it's policy that anyone living in a unit more than 2 weeks must be screened.

In fact, I paid a little extra to have the materials sent to me in actual paper form (not pdfs) because there's been some interesting studies done comparing retention of material from print vs screen (print wins hands down)What @Jacob Lair is saying might be true for a newly minted agent without real world experience, but I'd guess if you're at all active here on BP you probably already know a heck of a lot more about RE than most beginner agents.

Spend the extra to close with a title company.  

They also provide extra eyes on the case file and alert me to items I may not catch (improper notifications, etc.) since they do 1000x as many reviews as me (and although I have some training, they are licensed to do so.)A foreclosure, after all, is part of a civil suit.

I would do it again but it was a gamble not seeing inside of house etc however it selling tommorow and it cost attorney fees, for mediation and that's about all that was extra since was an ejectment and not eviction.

That being said, it's always worth trying to save some extra cash if you can.

We were able to get 100% financing, plus some extra for rehab (although we didn't call it rehab then).

They rent at all the "extra" rooms living rent and utility free.

The A/C guy just put more freon in it, he basically patched it up for another year.....Also with a heat pump the techs DO NOT put extra freon in your unit when they installed it to compensate for the 50-100 foot lineset/pipes that run up the wall, so you are already short on freon the day they install the unit, you just dont know about it....If you went with a package unit (the square rectangle kind that is all outside) you shouldnt have to worry about being short freon because  its precharged from the manufactor (I trust them more than a green helper that just started in the A/C business), and you shouldnt have to worry about carpenters, or sheet rock guys punching a nail threw the pipes that run up the side of the wall because its all self contained in that outdoor unit...Thus they call it a "Package Unit."
