While I haven't ever experienced them myself, I understand that San Diego where I live is pretty bad for the number of bed bug occurrences.

And if anyone has ever used a HELOC in creative real estate investing?

The tenant was able to manipulate the system and stay in the home for months.I was just wondering has anyone ever had a tenant from hell with a lease option?

My question is is anybody ever did any major remodeling while the tenant still live in the property?

In the beginning I thought, "how would I ever account for every little thing?"

BP is the best places you will ever find for real estate information.

Typically, the longest I've ever seen is 5 yr balloons.

The key here is to try to develop a relationship with said realtors. usually, after a couple calls and maybe even a face to face meeting you'll come across as being a serious investor.With that, try to find out from which ever realtor you speak with whether they pass around potential listings within the their office before these listings actually get posted on the MLS.

I'm wondering if that ever makes sense.

I don't know that I've ever seen a house state financing as 203K or cash only just because it has bad carpeting?
