Standard inspection period is 10 days here -- but like I said, the POS inspection report is probably going to show up after that, and I'm sure that we're looking at at least a $10-30,000 extra cost.Is there any other backdoor way to get the earnest money back after the inspection period has expired?

It is about 1680 Square feet finished (840 per side), side x side (mirror image), 2 bed, 1 bath duplex with separate everything (Gas/Electric/entries/laundry), a 2 car garage w/ 1 extra off-street space, big back yard, great views of the park, and in a phenomenal location.

In this regard, we can use the Census Bureau data to see how many homes are just sitting vacant, owner occupied or being rented.

Go the extra step and get a pre-approval letter from your lender of choice.Yes, absolutely shop the rates.

If your trying to move that money via 1031 exchange (Im no expert on this) wouldn't the owner finance just add an extra step/ hoop to jump through?

Gathering the letter likely increases friction for capital moving to your deal and reduces the audience for investments because they're unwilling to surrender data to promoters or their advisers are unwilling to write the letter for liability reasons.

If someone doesn't have a 'real' job and doesn't have enough rental property to handle that full time, then do a few flips to supplement your income and take up some extra timeandy

If it's you then you need to take extra out of your monthly income cash flow to account for that, I believe they say to expect 50%.These numbers you're giving, are they minus things like insurance, etc?

It is amazing how just that one extra unit will make this a cash cow for us.

Any Statistics/data?
