The normal First-year COCR will be misleading. 

I like to mail to owners with a decent amount of equity so normally 2000 and back but there is more than one way to bake a cake.

We didn't know there was any damage because the door still looks normal and great and opens and closes without issue.

If the owner wants to be paid for the vacant units, they should fill them (with any associated expenses) and then market the property.As with any rental property, there is a 'normal' vacancy factor that the seller is going to minimize and the buyer is inflate.Owners wanting to be paid based on unrealized potential is much of what we are seeing in the MF space.

Up until a few months ago I had the normal preconceived notion that in order to be an investor you have to have capital.

There is a normal range and above normal on the meter.

The reasoning given is because it is a short sale and short sales work differently than normal sales.

Normally not.

The action to quiet title could delay things, your end buyer could get impatient and walk, and you could end up losing your deposit and simultaneously leave the seller in a bind.That being said, your contract may specify who gets to select the closing agent / title company (for example, in Florida, whoever pays for the owner's title policy normally selects the closing agent, and this is often the seller). 

We normally don't collect until the first two weeks, but i don't think we will do that for investors, no premium, no guarantee of payment, naah.
