My partner and I have been leaning towards using our cash and doing just a single flip as we test the waters.  

Monthly Income (currently rented) 1100-no other income.Expenses: LL only provides garbage and water-this runs about 85 a month (have call into the city to confirm this)Taxes: $2,200 a year.

If its from a drainage or foundation problems, it could be a bit tougher.

This is long but here it goes:I hired this real estate agent to sell my property back in November 2013In Mid January I get a call from him that there is water coming into my neighbors townhouse, so he went to check to see what was going onwith the property.

Now I try to fish the waters ahead of time.

the higher end is ok but if they let water stand on it or you have a leak it will be shot also.

Can I file something with the registry of deeds in my county stating that the property at X location owned by Mr Smith has agreed to sell on this date to me (Tenant).Thats it for now thank you all for your input, I live in Maine and dont know how the laws differ from state to state, but if you can lead me to water i will drink.David

BP,I have a potential deal on a SFH 3B 1B house built in 1900.Listed Price $114KThe house has recently been rehabbed by a flipper but after a strong rain storm yesterday the house has a leak with water dripping into the bathroom and hallway.

One of my best sources has been the gals at the water company, and city code enforcement officer.  

I have had difficulty showing in January and February due to weather and have had a water freeze disaster (because power went out) in early March this year.
