Post: Need Credit Repair to get report prepped for business funding

Hi,  I'm seeking an individual or company that can  get derogatory 30 day lates removed from a credit file.  I'm not seeking

the traditional template based dispute letter campaign.  I'm looking for someone that knows  how to get items deleted by using the correct  verbiage and credit reporting laws/codes etc...the derogatory accounts are credit card accounts that can be closed.  I understand it takes time,  I'm seeking someone that will definitely deliver.

Kind Regards

Hello...l need a strategy that will set me up for retirement in 6 to 7yrs. I will be relocating to Louisiana to a new job. As listed above l have 20k cash and l qualify for all loans out there including a VA rehab

loan.  Max loan amounts are 150k on all my loans.  Should l house hack with a multifamily that needs repairs?....just need guidance here guys.  Can't afford any mistakes at this stage of my life.  Not new to realestate,  and definitely not a seasoned journeyman either.  Recovered from a BK 3yrs ago...good credit now.  I really Need a mentor....

Sincerely:

Hi Richiie.....l dropped that deal .   The numbers are exact but l just did not feel comfortable with month to month renting.  I'm old school and l need long term tenants.

That house was on the MLS ....other investors probably passed on it do to the month to month renting of the rooms. I'm looking at duplexes now and possibly house hacking . l did find a lender that will go 15% down but the numbers change and l can see why 20% is better!!

best regards

Hi Luke...yes the numbers are great and they are true!!....the place is basically an airbnb with rooms rented at 450 each and the basement apt. is rented for 600.00. She pays all utilities including 50.00 for cable. She actually sent me an exerpt from Craig's list showing people asking her for rooms . Being that Birmingham is booming with construction, lm confident that there will be few vacancies!...l turned the numbers every way l could and it will cash flow with 3 rooms vacant. If it stays at full capacity for 6mo more l'll be at 6k net. It's costing me roughly 18k cash for the acquisition. At 12mo in?....well that's an awesome ROI!!

l will Keep you posted...flying down in two weeks....oh..couldnt get the 15% down do to FHA guidelines on BK's...so lm in at 20% down.

Thanks Ned for that oh so "important reminder"...the BRRRR works however, the ARV has to be high enough, or your penciled out math will quickly begin to fade!!

thanks again Ned!!
