@David Dachtera  first course of action is to simply and I say very simply.. go to the county or city .. talk with the planning department.. and make sure the lots were recorded as final plats.. and are legal lots of record. just because utls are in does not mean the plat was recorded.then see if there are any other red flags.. then go to public works ask the same questions.then go to the building department and make sure they don't have them flagged.

So if anyone is looking for a help around the area, or someone to work with, or just someone to talk shop with, Im am here!

I would love to talk about opportunities in MA!

Hey Everyone, Talked to my mortgage broker today to see what kind of property i would qualify for with a conventional mortgage, and she said something that I wanted to verify with everyone.A couple of properties I am looking at are Condos, and they have an association fee associated with them.My broker pretty much cut me off and said, any unit that is part of a "Condo Association" will not qualify for a convention mortgage on an investment property.  

Look forward to talking to everyone and making some business relationships!

I would like to talk to you about buying criteria.  

My understanding from talking to other investors is that if you initially state that you plan to pay w/ financing, and then change your mind and switch to cash, you are still allowed 45 days.The 30 / 45 day clock starts when HUD/Sage signs the contract, not when the offer is accepted.  

Also, I like when tenants are there when doing a walk thru, I like to see if they talk about their landlord, it says a lot about them. 

Talk to the neighbors on both sides and across the street.

Other than him talking about his monthly gross all the time of course... ;)I'm interested in pursuing his business model down in the South Bay, isolated down several areas but have yet to reach out to landlord to ask.
