How would a lender want to see things done if Partner A were looking to assume a convention mortgage for a rental property, using Partner B's money for down payment and closing costs?  I've read here that some folks have done this, but from what I understand, I thought a lender would want to see that all of the the funds were actually coming from the loan applicant themselves?  Is there a way to do this without Partner B needing to be on the loan?

Looking at a nice lot, where the front of the house and driveway are on a private street, but one side of the property is along a somewhat busy 2 lane road (one lane each direction).  Its a large lot and the house is pretty far from the street (I'd sat 60-80 feet, maybe more).  I would like to consider this for a flip, but I know the main road will of course reduce retail value and make the property more difficult to market.

Do others have a general rule of thumb about the percentage decrease in value and the increase in hold time that a main road may have on a property?  

Thanks

Native New Yorker here, brand new to Charlotte NC area and with the exception of purchase, renovation, and sale of a personal residence, new to RE.  I have been lurking on the BP boards for about a month now and decided its time to start getting out there and talking to you all.  I'm interested in getting into flipping low-mid priced homes in the charlotte area, and ideally find some buy and hold opportunities for the long term.

Im working on becoming familiar with the city and it's small "pockets" of diverse neighborhoods and hoping to meet and discuss the area and business with other investors, RE agents, contractors, etc to hopefully do business with down the road. 

Looking forward to getting started!

Large neighborhood with hunderded of homes has one foreclosure for sale, but there are no recent sales and no houses for sale within that neighborhood, or ~1 mile surrounding (info based on website searches). Does that mean anything? Is it possible to ascertain how difficult it will be to resell. Is it a good sign that no one has sold, or is trying to sell in this area, or is it just too risky to understand what the demand may be in the area?
