Rates will generally be higher than conventional loans—typically in the 7-9% range—depending on your profile and market conditions.

@Zachary Kersh if you can live anywhere, look for strong growth areas and then research opportunities, salary ranges and cost of living to see where you would net the most from your job.

Both interest rates were in the 2.5% range!

I am no longer auto-declining people due to the sub-600 scores, rather allotting a lower "point value" based on the lower ranges in our objective screening process. 

Hi Vincent,A fair finder’s fee or "kickback" for an off-market deal typically ranges between 1-3% of the purchase price, depending on the complexity and value of the deal.

From that information I would think the best you can do is get a range of the ARV (say $150-$170k) and I would make sure you numbers work no matter whether the actual value falls within the range.

We found a small duplex within our price range and found it worth it.

Since I am only qualified for 190k the availability for single family homes in that price range is slim.

I am a new multifamily investor (5-20 units) along the Front Range specifically Boulder and Jefferson Counties and am having the same issues when it comes to getting quotes.Brokers and agents have told me that some areas near us are simply uninsurable now.Most owners that I meet have are still in policies from before the fire.What have you learned in the two months since posting this?
