This was included in the initial contract we signed when we put the $1,500 deposit.

Fly to the US, and sign it in person with a mobile notary (wet signature)Going to the embassy is not an option since getting an appointment over there can take months...I had a thought which I spoke with fellow investors, to sign the documents with an Israeli notary and then get an Apostille stamp. once I have it all with a wet signature I'll mail the documents with DHL/UPS and it will arrive by the lender/title company in 10 days.As far as I know, a notary signature with an apostille stamp is valid for every legal document almost all over the world...What do you think? 

So the purchase of the home included the empty lot.

I forgot to "@" you so you'd get an email alert.

What screening company address should be included for applicants whose screening reports were run through Zillow?

That includes the mortgage, the insurance, if there is any electricity the landlord is responsible for, if the landlord is responsible for any of the water and sewer, not all of those bills might be every month, some might be quarterly or twice a year like the insurance, and a small percentage set aside each month for vacancies, maintenance, and eventual capital repairs.

Not only is the current owner asking for a 300% price increase over what they asked in 2019, but they have included in the new asking price the cost of the garish furnishings they want to sell with the home.  

Your calculation of $40,000 out of $160,000 would apply if the total investment included both the property cost and the materials/supplies, but in this case, it seems the property cost is separate.

He says he makes $8000 dollars every month- I am thinking he is including his own payroll.If he was passive, he would have to put money to keep the lights on?................
