Several counties in Maryland list source of income, which they do extrapolate source of funds from to be a Fair Housing violation.If I were going to be your listing agent, and your property was located in Maryland or DC, I would advise you that that course of action would be illegal.

Hi I'm 32 years old who has my fair share in real estate.  

One of my properties with a 5 year 20% second on it is fairly high cash flow negative on paper and so far somewhat cashflow negative in reality.

If I am going to do rehab at all, then I want a fairly large upside, partly due to the fact there are always risks in pricing rehab.

HUD usually has a downloadable property condition report available online that can be helpful, although some of them are fairly cursory.

This is fairly standard procedure when an REO is sold.

But it was a time saver and I sent mail out from there and had fair responses.

If the owner has no equity, then what would be a fair offer?
