I'm sure that you'd love our hands-on approach and detail in protecting your investments.

In Connecticut, houses in flood zones have limitations on improvements before the house must be brought up to full FEMA code.

I have a really dumb question that may not be so dumb, but is making me feel dumb because I don't know how to approach it so here it goes:What types of questions should I and have to ask when I'm talking to REI's? 

Approach it professionally by saying that you want to introduce yourself and  you plan to institute a payment change, the lease says xyz,  is that who you sent your rent to for the 1st? 

@Linda Weygant With this approach, every newly purchased (and mortgaged) property is almost guaranteed to raise your total DTI ratio.Let's say the target max DTI for a conventional mortgage product is 40%.  

I find the hottest zip codes to invest in but I'm not sure how to approach the buyers agent listed.

I am not sure of what approach you took with the tenant....a diplomatic/problem solver tone is always best.Apology. 

And also, the biggest issue, is being confident in the value to be able to sell for a profit after purchase.I ran a CMA myself and brought the property in at roughly $124,000.

But after talking to numerous property managers and local investors, this was a point that was brought up again and again and something to consider.

Know I'm confused all together about my approach , which leaves me stagnant doing nothing.
