@Nicholas Pantaleo the issue you are going to run into is that most local banks will offer you their "portfolio" loans which are exactly the same as the loans they offer for apartment buildings.

Some properties are turnkey where factors can determine whether your knowledge base will suffice or you need a more in-depth view others are heavy deep renovations where it would be a best investment protection to know what you don’t know; possible septic issues, roof, mechanical electric... then it’s best to get a pro if your a pro or have one. 

Listen to the seller and clue in on the reason they are selling.if she won't call back or answer your calls, send a nice letter apologizing (if you think you have some to apologize for) or just something saying "thank you for your time, i would still like to talk to about the sale of your home"....maybe a thank you card for her time and consideration......a gift card or offer to sit and buy her a cup of coffee...... again trying to resolve any issues that may lead to you closing this deal....you worked hard for this lead (i presume) dont just give up!....

Do you want to be made aware of every issue, do you want every maintenance request run by you or only those over a certain dollar amount?

It was promised to take 3 months to rehab, longer than Podcasting, but anyway.We were introduced to a property management company named Blue Sky opened by Clayton Morris and they took more than two months to send us the management agreement by the excuse of system issue, which delay us from realizing the problem.

You need to have them create a party wall agreement similar to an HOA but it maps out owners responsibilities who owns what etc.In fact without that and a survey I would think you would have some issues with the city accepting it.

I’m having issues with my current one.

He’s helping me through an issue now and has been super informative and helpful throughout the process.

Finally got the Deed to our property issued last week (auction was 6/13) so a few days ago I headed down to Jax to find out who was living/not living there, and got some pics-did miss one small room but that's because we took the discussion outside and did not capture it.
