Quote from @Gloria N Gear: Quote from @Owen Rosen: Quote from @Gloria N Gear: Goosehead Insurance -- I saved about $1300 across 5 properties and increased my coverage. 

I can get 5 times as many deals without increasing my budget.

For C to B-Larger developments announced nearby-Increased activity in new construction-Building of commercial retail in or near the neighborhood. 

Quote from @Marc Shin: @Keagan Scott on any advice you have to help me increase my bookings would be appreciated! 

That will show what proposed tax increase you will see.

Towson things will be nicer but the purchase price will increase. 

That does not require employment or job seasoning instead it uses the rents to qualify and you can take out up to 80% LTV cash.Use the cash to put down on the next 1-2 or more properties as long as the other properties are debt servicing themselves it opens up more opportuities to buy more future assets and increase your passice income.  

Once the property is sold however we will be ok and our incomings are due to increase the following year.

Exemptions to getting a 2nd FHA loan per HUD handbook are:-Job relocation 100 miles away or in another state-Increase in family size-Vacating a jointly owned home (ie - divorce or the like)

Here is some key information:Property recently hit the market and has 2 cash offers alreadyThe seller provided a pre-inspection report, which I shared with 2 different lenders, both think it may fail conventional financing due to potential structural and electrical issues (realtor thinks it could pass conventional)Seller has 100% equity but is behind on other payments (not sure of the urgency money is needed)This is my first attempt at an “investment” property so I’m new to thisI see 3 optionsMove forward with an offer using conventional loan pre-qualification-Not as attractive of an offer to the seller-Possibility that appraiser calls out structural/electrical issues that need to be fixed before closing, effectively causing financing to fail- Best terms and fewest loan fees for meUse a rehab style loan such as ChoiceRenovation-Even less attractive than a conventional offer to seller, but less risk of failed financing if appraiser calls out issues-Slightly worse fees and interest rates compared to conventional-Lenders tell me possibly up to 60-90 days closing in some cases, with red-tape for contractor requirements and draw schedules (sounds like the most hoops to jump through during rehab)Use a hard money lender-Most attractive loan option I can give to seller so I can compete-Much higher fees and interest rate for me-need to refinance into a conventional at the end of rehab (not familiar with seasoning periods but I think this is a factor as well)Which option would you do?
