Hi Matthew, Congratulations for being in this business for 35 years. 

I do business with people I have met before, not the sudden opportunist who wants a deal.  

- You can buy using FHA 203(k) loan which allows you to finance repairs into the purchase mortgage.If you find you like being a landlord, you can BRRRR a property every year.You can also start BRRRing rentals w/o planning to live in them.

.🔹 Example in Action:Rental income: $9,000PITI: $9,500 → DSCR <1 (not qualifying)Using $63,000 in assets → Adds $1,045 in incomeNew DSCR >1 → Higher LTV (80% instead of 75%)🔹 Why This Matters:✅ Helps investors qualify for better financing✅ Increases borrowing power and flexibility✅ Allows you to scale your portfolio fasterUnderstanding financing tools like this can be a game-changer for investors looking to maximize opportunities.

Thank you for allowing me to join.  

Business travel to interesting places or that includes experiencing interesting events.You can try have your cake and eat it too.Best of luck with your investments

If you have your business incorporated or at least a DBA Versium I've been told Versium is a solid choice for skiptracing. 

A couple of years ago, I worked with an investor who never updated the contact information for the loan and the Bank call the seller (ex-wife), that day she was mad at her ex-husband and told the bank her ex allowed someone to steal their property from them and they got no money, she was kicked out of her house and there were strange people living there.This could all have been avoided if the investor did this process correct.Get educated, also I do not know your attorney but not many attorneys have the knowledge to do this process correctly. 

This allows the fix & flipper to make a little money upfront, but a lot more at the back end when we reassign the mortgage/deed of trust back to them.
