There are a few red flags that give me this feeling and if it doesn't close I lost 2-3 weeks of being able to market the property.Do you think I am being unreasonable for proceeding only with non-refundable earnest money when they request to change the loan 55 days after contract?

I found a beautiful home in Florrisant, MO.

The whole game is about protecting the safety and soundness of the economy, that begins at the consumer level, passes through the red zone of financial institutions, brokers, dealers, financing conduits, that end up at the goal line of fair, fully disclosed, lawful scores for the consumer.

The house looks beautiful, I'm sure the buyers were very pleased! 

Beautiful exterior!

I've seen a lot of investors who have a good thing going, pull excess cash out of a property with a loan, and then, get themselves in a bind because the debt service on it becomes burdensome when something changes, like the tenant moving out.Not only that, but you can mess up the ratios on your balance sheet compromising your ability to get financing in the future.One of the beautiful things about rental real estate is that your tenants build your equity for you.

She had been placed at a motel by Red Cross and complained that the property management didn't fix the loose power outlets in the living room when she reported loose outlets and wires!!!  

 I may or may not have a down payment,  but the building I would like to purchase will be a great investment and profitable, I would like to make this building into a upscale rooming house with a beauty salon and coffee shop on the first floor, with at least 8 to 10 rooms,  the building has a parking lot,  price  is $175,000, but I am estimating the rehab to be about  $150,000 and to furnish it another  $150,000, is there anyone that can give me some advice on this project,  a contractor will be letting me know how much it will cost to rehab and the owner is willing to negotiate the price 

Any red flags I should look out for?
