IMO, a good property inspector is one of the most cost effective risk mitigating factors in all of REI...it's a no-brainer for me.

No dangerous breeds.

I dont think there is anything thats really dangerous or anything over there.

I have a question for the community: How do you learn effectively? 

They are going to have trouble proving the house was inhabitable without hotel receipts or some other proof the temperature was dangerously low.

I wouldn't want a domino effect from one going wrong.

When they ask when you want it to take effect, say today.  

We ended up effectively using that new equity to purchase a new turnkey property via a blanket loan against both properties.

I evaluate deals for a few hours a day for a local, seasoned investor in the area, but that is not the big payout I was hoping for when I decided that Real Estate was the avenue I wanted to go.Does anyone have any recommendations or advice for how I might educate myself more quickly or more effectively?

I have seen regulators do strange things but if any regulator even proposed expanding their guidance to encompass credit decisions, the pushback even within HUD, not to mention FHFA and the Enterprises because of establishing a very dangerous precedent would be so swift that I doubt anyone would even know of such a proposal before it was quietly killed internally.Even Liz Warren isn't that out of touch.
