Those that do not offer the carts with their rentals are mostly concerned with the liability issues.

Following this post as I have the same issue and would like some suggestions.

@Brian AshThis is very common now as most lenders are getting crushed on commercial side and recognize the residential side is going to have some pain and they do not want to get stuck with investor loans with no personal guarantee as that is what people walk away from first when they get in trouble.

This is a common story - owner isn't managing the property well.

I want to get rid of my older ones due to being in an HOA or other issues that are not ideal.

In my market, that can be a huge issue.

There are lots of big $ pitfalls that you can encounter: second mortgage foreclosing, HOA foreclosing, other title issues, IRS liens, collapsed sewer pipes, burst water pipes from improper weatherization, to name a few.Start hereAbsolutely try to contact the borrower pre-foreclosure.  

Never seen any talk or research on this, but seems like kids might do better in school if the school is newer and in good repair and things work vs those that leak and fight temperature control and other issues.

In my area, the most common are garbage and sewer bills, but they could include just about anything like water, electricity, etc.

As commercial lending continues to wave the white flag, the DSCR loan has become the new darling of lending for real estate investors.As an investor who was able to maintain a portfolio through the Great Recession of 2006-2008, I can tell you with experience that the adjustable-rate mortgage was a giant contributor to the issues that followed.
