My RE agent was confused because she said it was never scheduled, the broker told me it was a table top appraisal so it didn’t need to be scheduled because they don’t go in the property.

The contractor was terrible to work with and hard to get ahold of. we finally got on his schedule and he pushed us back day after day with a new excuse each time. finally, he came and did the project which took much longer than he said it would. after he finished, he sent the bill for $3,874.

Hey everyone, I'm super excited/nervous to finally start real estate investing after saving up for about 4 years!

I can't wait for journalists of the future to finally do their job and investigate the negative impact of this entire government fiasco.Side note: this is going to really hit the poor communities hard because they don't have picture ID.

That means you will probably either pay a lot more and/or will lose a lot more deals before finally getting one.This is not meant to be discouraging, but newbies often quit when they find out how hard it is to get started, and the method you're using (FHA loan) will likely mean you have to have more patience than the average investor who already owns a personal residence and is looking to expand into rentals. 

But I wouldn’t expect a bank or a partner to finance 100% of your deals since you wouldn’t have a lot of experience, skills, or connections to bring to the table.

I felt 1% of the final purchase price was adequate and he did not.

You will want to perform another inspection after they move out as well for final report.For mid-occupancy inspections, I would suggest every 6-12 months. 

I finally gave up this week and filed a 3-day Notice.
