Just remember that $70 is the gross number they charge , they have to buy supplies , insurance , tools , vehicle , gas , workmans comp etc . 

Keep the bank as the mortgagee on insurance.Since you are rehabbing, you should be done in 3 to 6 months anyway.

I have Regrid ( I use it mainly for land), its 10 bucks a month and they have vacant property information they pull from the USPA.

Outcome currently is a rented basement for $1,350 a month + $130 in utilities while I live in the upstairs unit.

Hi Danielle, As a property manager, if you were my client, I would recommend that you incorporate a monthly flat rate utility fee into that tenants lease.

USDA does not.If you have a job gap (6+ months of unemployment) on an FHA loan, then you have to go back 2 years prior to the job gap AND be back to work for 6 months before you are eligible.How to avoid this? 

I’m about 1 month in and feeling a little discouraged.

But you should be able to target that upper demographic segment and still move a house in a few months if you are in the correct markets.

Quote from @Brian Burke: @Chris Seveney when I started my lending company with two partners our aim was to go from $0 to $2.5M per month. 

I negotiate at 70% ARV so the deals I bring are solid and I'd love to work with one single corporate cash buyer that is able to close  on several deals a month.
