Hi All,Newbie here. 55 yr old planning to retire in 2 years, learning about real estate investing in order to have a source of steady inflation-proof cashflow (in addition to stock dividends) prior to taking social security at age 70 - so I don't need to sell stock investments.

how's the Life Proof planks you did over the tile holding up?

Prior Landlord Reference(s) - Call and check I ask for proof of last 3 months rent now.

At that point they ask for proof of ownership, such as a copy of the deed.

I told her it would be a cash offer, she then proceeded to tell me that I need to put a $1,000 earnest deposit and show proof of funds.

So this tells me that family maintenance checks aren't guaranteed (as  they are with social assistance) because you are relying on the other person to be able to pay their support payments.

Yes some star or tamper proof screws is a great idea

Finally he said that if I would be willing to bring him my seller's information, he would then be able to proof my contract for me.

The bank shouldn't provide any priority to a cash deal over a financed one so pay attention to things like that.5) Proof of funds or letter of pre approval to show that you have the financing aspect covered without a problem.6) If you're purchasing with an LLC, the negotiator will ask you for an Articles of Incorporation anyway.

We'll be paying cash, so we won't have the issues of trying to obtain financing for a non-owner occupied property.I have a background in social work/affordable housing/fair housing issues, so while both of us work full-time now (I run our travel business and my husband has a W-2 job), eventually, I will likely run our real estate investment business full-time.
