Which will be added to your income at the regular rates.

I'm sure some do, but most, the ones I mastermind with on a regular basis from around the country, do not.I like J.

I talked to the case worker again and they said at this point because the eviction is imminent it would not matter if the tenant had someone pay the 2,500 on her behalf and would not affect her case.So I will call her bluff and she will pay or I will throw her out.I will update what happens.

.* Regular inspections to check for leaks, ceiling damage, make sure window AC units are properly mounted, etc.* Other preventative maint, such as cleaning gutters

Some idiot left a (ball check) in place fully inflated on the 3" line.No wonder water form the tubs wasn't draining.Apparently there was work done to the kitchen 7 to 8 years ago before I bought it a few months ago.The plumber says the ball check is to check holding water and pressure test and then is supposed to be taken off and a regular line used or just remove the ball and cap the pipe.Instead he said many times dry wallers just goes over it before the plumber comes back and the plumber says screw it and leaves it.I just couldn't believe it but the plumber has found this before on other properties he has worked on.

Thanks, Jon, for the advice - Would the termite inspection report and the regular home inspection report be enough to determine all the repairs that may be needed ?

The Seller still has to still update the title commitment.

You will need to make him think that the you and the seller have a good rapport so he doesn't even think about circumventing your relationship to this thing.And then you will bring psoturing and attitude together and let him think that you find great deals like these regularly and you will need his services on future deals if he handles this one correctly at a good price.Use posturing and the right attitude correctly and you don't have to worry about the contractor trying to get slick.

Say you are returning about 5% on equity right now, if you could find an investment that returns 10% with an updated tax basis, does it really hurt you?

I’ve read where buyer pays closing costs. ( regular wholesale deals).
