I have a question. I have a deal with a lease option Can I sublet a property through a sec 8 program or will the city not allow that due to someone else holding the mortgage.  (Baltimore City)

Here is my situationLooking to buy personal house with equity and then force equity after purchase so We can use HELOC for the downpayment of a investment property. Any suggestions on where to look?who to seek advice? Or loan choices? Any advice will be appreciated.

Does anyone have and recent experience with foreclosure.com 

Is foreclosure.com worth the money? Or am I wasting my time will I find newest and up to date forecloses in my area. 

Or is there a better site to pay for?

Okay  so I'm looking to  by my personal home  and I'm looking  two for some Equity as soon as I move in assuming that I have bought correctly what are some renovations that I can do that will bring equity besides the same kitchen and bathroom will I gain any Equity from doing things like removing wood paneling and putting up drywall but basically I'm looking for some type of list of things to help improve the house and get as much equity as possible

Yes you are correct about having the funds for the sweat equity. I am really am trying to do this to acquire a Heloc as soon as possible as I do have a future partner but I would like to have some skin in the game. Thank you for the info and yes your correct I will be going with a conventional loan and I have the disadvantage of family to think of so it obviously could be a complete disaster for the loan obviously but also because of family. I'm looking in the York  Pa market and have around the 200 range to work with. The most challenging aspect so far is finding the correct agent which I believe I have just done

Question for seasoned investors.

So here is the situation  I will be making my first home purchase sometime soon. And I have a plan that I am going to purchase my first home (My Personal) and I am trying to buy it so when I move in I have at least 20k equity and I can force at least 20k after purchase. My question really is does anyone have any advice on what cash on return rehabs I should look for so I can make sure I meet my goal or any general advice going this route in general.

Any recommendations on books on Apartment complex investing
