That $700 isn't exactly cheap but good peace of mind which would allow me to rehab many properties without worry at least in regards to that requirement.

There shouldn't be an issue with it but the last thing you want is zoning breathing down your back.

I do the inspection mostly as a peace of mind.Appraisal, survey etc...those are typically buyer's costs anyways and in an all cash offer it's not required it's the buyer's options.Last week I just had another deal, this time a REO home, asking $175,000.

Either regain the upper hand as advised above or work to get him out as peacefully as possible.

I would definitely say start with saving a good emergency fund for your personal peace of mind while reading about the different funding options you may have.

The price point is super approachable and it's a historically stable market so people can invest with a lot of peace of mind.

All in, the renovation cost 12k and gave me some additional peace of mind because I knew there was some things that needed to be addressed following the poor work done by the turnkey company.

And we like how peaceful our neighborhood is, we’ll help keep it that way.

However, there are many jobs where income is variable (such as real estate) and some renters may feel a peace of mind and stability paying up front while they have the cash readily available.

Take a breath.
