Some sellers are fine with getting an income stream because it's easier on their taxes, better return than they can get in the bank and they just need a monthly check to supplement their income.But maybe this seller has their eye on a retirement home on a lake somewhere and needs a large chunk of money for that.

I know how to spot some of the more obvious, glaring problems when walking through a potential investment property, but what are some of the more subtle things to keep an eye out for?  

Sometimes we can get wrapped up in a conversation to the point of thinking someone is amazing, but a second set of eyes/ears can pickup on things we missed.

Account Closed I'd love to talk to you further about there are defiantly some greats deals I have had my eye on.

I should also mention that we own a business across the street so there is always a set of eyes on the property.
