Use words like can and may or could, not will, shall, would.What I suggest is you not go there, you're not a collector, what you say can hurt you even if it's with the best intentions.He may have walked out thinking he knows how hard it might be to collect and doesn't care too.It's better to turn judgments over for collection, the cost od collection might be less than you'd settle for with him.A debtor has many tools in the box to use against a creditor, you can't just use logic or opinions in collections as they may take anything and use your collection efforts against you.

could present big red flags with respect to integrity and safety (electrical - dependent on timeframe done, asbestos, plumbing, etc.).

You can use tools such as sales genie to pull addresses for your farm.

There is nothing growing on the walls or anything, but if you go in there and sit on the couch or the bed it feels cold and damp like it was in a refrigerator or something.I don't believe there are any leaks or anything, I pay for the water bill and the bill is very reasonable, ~100 bucks a month for all three units.There is a crawlspace on the other side of the wall of her unit where the water heaters for the units reside and there are various things stored like yard tools, is it possible that rain water is getting into there somehow and leaking under the floor, humidifying the room?

Where the models have the most trouble is with home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), as that loan could be open and have a zero balance, or the borrower could have used the entire line.Overall estimated equity is a great tool for narrowing the field to properties that are likely underwater, owned free and clear, fully encumbered, etc, around which many real estate investing strategies, including most creative financing strategies are based.

Example is if I am at 80% LTV on asset I may be at 1.35% DCR but to go to 85% or 100% LTV if permitting, I would personally need a much higher DCR depending on risk as viewed from a market and property level, as an example I would atleast 1.50%-1.75% DCR.Some people may look at it like the above with Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) on the individual property level or they may look at it from DCR as global cash flow perspective with all personal income, business income, properties, notes, and other investment cash flows or cash flow activities net at the end of the day and stress test that to make sure the debt provides enough mental, emotional, and financial safety for the given increment of additional risk by borrowing X dollars.I would love to hear other views on how debt is managed or how debt preferences are formulated.
