He said within 6 months or so I should be able to get an FHA loan, so that's why I'm relying so heavily on that idea.I just wonder if after having an FHA loan for a year (so 1-1/2 years of credit history) if I would qualify for a conventional.

I was wondering how you would go about finding out how much (in percentage terms) the operating expenses are on a property without owning it aka when looking for properties to purchaseBecause of course if I already owned the property then I would know because I have to pay them all but when trying to figure out if a property's purchase price is justified how can I determine how much the operating expenses will be?

I would suggest networking.

I'd also be managing the tenants and leases myself.Any suggestions or examples of what you did in the past that could be applied to this?

So, that make it harder to vet.I would suggest networking with other investors and see who they have used and recommend. 

I'm sure it's a long shot but just wondering if someone has encountered this before.

Great thanks Glenn.What do you improvements or modification do you suggest to improve cash flow?

I wonder - why?

I’m very near closing, just wondering what sort of documents are important to request of the seller (I.e. maintenance contracts, manuals, warranties etc.)

Basically I’m wondering what the structure is if you sign on for the 90 days.
