That is where the original question spawned from...Is it easier to finance a house as an income property if you pay for the build in cash, have it leased, then Refi, or "sell it back to yourself" so to speak using the instant equity as a down payment.RECAP: I buy lot, and have house built for $108,000 in cash. 

I was going to deliver my camper to the local sites for people to use but I am getting request for people to take it off my hands and drive it around the state of Michigan.

With that being said, if someone is going to "go down to studs" I tell them they don't need my services, but if they are going to do cosmetic to medium sized rehab, on their retail end anything they don't find and fix is going to bite them in the butt.On the other hand of the equation for a Wholesaler just getting started, having a Home Inspector who can give them a scope of work, and verify what the home needs is going to give them instant credibility and higher priority when trying to sell their deal to their buyers list.

I know that bids for jobs can vary, but knowing who has delivered exactly what they quoted on budget is a must so having a resource to identify who to use and who to avoid is a must for a real estate investor.

This will help you:          a) improve your Tenants' care of your property, b) give you more latitude in          charging for Tenant-caused damages ("all you had to do is read the manual           instead of yanking that knob") c) keep your Tenants safer; d) minimize the          number of calls to you the Landlord, e) deliver yet another example of how          dedicated you are to serving and protecting your Tenants.Positive results from following the advice above reminds me of a comment I heard from an outside salesman in the early 2000's:  "Good grief . . . cell phones, email, GPS . . . there's just no where else to hide any more". 

Texas specifically has this in the contract and uses a specific form for sellers who are staying in the property for up to 90 days after closing, so you should see if your brother's contract has similar.10.POSSESSION: Buyer’s Possession: Seller shall deliver to Buyer possession of the Property in its present or required condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted: A) upon closing and funding or B) according to a temporary residential lease form promulgated by TREC or other written lease required by the parties.

One of the reasons Bill and I deliver such detailed responses.
