You also create protection for yourself by not making exceptions for anyone; fair housing and all.

You seem to be a fairly active note investor, and it appears to be working for you.

The tenant rented the unit with the expectation of it having a working stove, so you should maintain it in that condition.

Appreciation applied can be a fairly linear approach.

Since we plan to maintain our jobs for at least another 5 years we knew it was important to buy "easy" properties.

Not because of a general RE crisis, but because it is a crappy neighborhood and properties get trashed and are hard to maintain.

Those are the fringe benefits that come with the expenses you will have to maintain your license.

You can buy options on these fairly easily.

Please note that my advice was to see an attorney, to call officials and have them make a determination, not to accuse, but relay the facts.I said it sounds like....and, if the attorney is the note holder, I'd bet in such a case he'd hang his broker out to dry.The note, if originated illegally may be worthless.Joe, the applicable laws for OO so far are in the SAFE Act, TILA, Fair Credit Collections Act and state laws that will be similar to all states as to brokering.

Even on the blanket loan I did for 3 of my houses.OTHERNot that big but they also wanted all the taxes, insurance, etc, in escrow accounts that they would maintain.
