You may well get a batch of residents along with the house, and then have to evict them.

Our resident real estate law blogger, Joshua Marks, today posted an article that should be a must read for any home buyer!

My background in real estate over the past 20 years included the purchase of over 35 single family and residential multifamily residences.

any time I have rented( very few) I have had a hard time getting any DD deposit back as the landlord needs to repair this or clean that, even when I was a resident manager of an ampartment building, they held money back when I moved out as the stove wasn't clean enough.

I worked with her in buying my first residence 10 years ago.

Would this be an investment, or a primary residence?

I reside in Maryland which has changed Foreclosure law for single family owners and owners with less than 5 units.

Are you looking to purchase this for your own residence or for an investment?

Believe me you will have "extra work" if you hold property in your own name and get sued - that extra work will include not owning a primary residence either because they will take that as well.

I currently reside in Kernersville, NC with my husband and son.
