@ Prashant P, I appreciate the response...I'm doing exactly that. It states only select lenders and only a few are in my area. However, Wells Fargo was not on that list..research in progress with 20 lenders.....will post what I find out..thx

Best ever..."I can get you the application fee in 2 wks". I'm thinking you shouldn't be looking if you don't have $35 for the app fee..

New approach..drive by property to confirm interest, prescreen, app fee to receive application....weeds out most..

It seems like a simple process and a win win for investors, but does this product really exist for an investor. I spoke with a mortgage broker in AL several months ago who indicated you can't use this product for properties under 60K. Please any insight would be helpful.

1. Have you been approved for HomePath Renovation Mortgage
2. What state did you purchase property?
3. How much did you pay for property?
4. What was the down payment?(20% or 30%)

According to conversation I had with a CPA..
1. Cap 2. Curr(min cost) 3 Curr(min cost) 4 Curr(blinds) Cap(floors) 6 Cap 7..not sure but I don't think you would expense it all in one year..

May trigger audit if too many large ticket items expensed all at once...IRS tip hotline (800) 829-4933..
