I just closed today on the sale of the second house and have ended the nightmare!

Here’s the winning formula successful local house buyers and wholesalers use to connect with sellers, close deals, and create win-win solutions:Be Relentless: Show up every day with positivity and persistence.

You can generally get the best terms (max leverage and best rates) on an owner-occupied house.

Quote from @Roger Flot: I was reviewing some renovated listings in my area and one indicated that even though the house was originally built in 1920, because of all the renovations bringing the house to current code, that you could get 2024 rates on insurance. 

As I'm sure everyone knows, the housing market is pretty locked up right now.

@Chad Chase - I think funding a fix and flip with a HELOC from a primary house could work.

.- Some lenders recognize NATO personnel and may include your Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) as income.5.

Try to setup an appointment with them.Ask the top agents in your office if you could hold open houses for them. 

In my personal opinion, it's the land that is appreciating, not the house.

Hi Linda,Lots of great advice from @Carla Gordon @Brian Schroeder @Jay Thomas Specifically I think it's always smart to check out FF Traveler sear https://www.furnishedfinder.com/housing/New-York/New-York) and Airbnb/VRBO for 30+ days stays to gauge what sort of similar properties are currently out there!
