REI is about buying right, if you always buy at market value then being a successful real estate investor will be extremely difficult.

Finding a property w/ a monthly rent of 1.5% of purchase price + rehab within a half hour of my town is extremely difficult.  

I use ACV policies with Shelter Insurance and they are extremely reasonable.

Any landlord renting to a individual receiving welfare is taking a extremely high risk.

I went where everyone recommends you go when you’re starting out in real estate: my family.My parents are middle class, have a paid off house, substantial savings, and are both employed; however, they are extremely conservative financially, so I wasn’t sure how it would go.

Can also do this again on backpage but would definitely word it extremely different as to not seem like a scam (on different days as well).

So it's very conceivable (and has happened to me) that extremely pertinent information about a property (such as the presence of open, still-accuring violations) will only be obtainable by doing a records request at the municipality level.

I would say most of us have two sides, although not always to the extreme.

Extremely glad I found this community!

If so, that property was 100% vacant and extremely distressed with a complete rehab needed.My recommendation would be to post in the thread that you are referencing if you have any questions...i'm sure the OP would be happy to clarify.Hope this helps!
