No final decisions yet anyway.

And finally how about Insurance?  

Needless to say, they ended up clouding title on hundreds of homes, and their actions both got them a stretch in Club Fed for 7-75 yrs, along with being barred for life in Iowa from engaging in any way in the business of buying and selling real estate or selling securities.Personally, this seems like a bad work around for Dodd/Frank, verse just hooking up with an independent licensed mortgage banker in the area, to have them underwrite the property tax loan/2nd mortgage for a fee of $750 or $1,000, which could be tacked onto the total loan amount to be repaid over a couple of years.

Finally closed on my first property in Stockton CA.

Looking forward to building my relationships finally within this community and help others along the way! 

@Steve MorrisHappened to my parents-in-law, after two years of searching they finally found something they liked.

I'm in the final stages of selecting a Property Manager and they have several "Performance Guarantee" that they sent me in a pamphlet (things like "We only get paid when a tenant pays", "If the tenant we place in the property gets evicted within the first 12 months, we will refund the leasing fee", and "If you are not happy with our service, you can cancel anytime with a 60-day notice"). 

Finally, did you use your VA loan for this property?

Finally you can use a skip tracing service to help you locate additional phone numbers to call.Remember if it is difficult then very few people are doing it. 

If she failed, you are allowed to charge her for the unpaid rent and the late fee.This is very common for renters, particularly with prorated rent on their final month.
