red flags are this.1. too quick to approve you when you have little to no expreince2. they don't ask you for detailed financial information from you.3. rates lower than you see from bigger legit lenders ( too good to be true)4. money up front and just like what happened to you.. need this fee .. oh and now I need that fee and of course you will get funding tomorrow if you pay this fee.. this is all a scam plain and simple. find reputable HML in your market go meet them.. if you have no experience it can be tougher.. if your credit is less than 640 can be tough.. if you have no cash for a down payment.. pretty much impossible..

@Jackson WuThey don’t have to be plain Jane ugly ones .

April 2017 my husband started to become really sick and was diagnosed with issues that have kept him from working and on short term disability.

Are there flood plain issues?

When a big ticket appliance or mechanical system of the house breaks and you have no reserves because you have no profit you’ll be sick to your stomache . 

When our neighborhoods are deteriorating or just plain unsightly with overgrown weeds, cracked sidewalks and chipping paint, it's deeply satisfying to buy these run down eyesores and turn them into beautiful productive homes that people can be proud to raise their family in.

We are based in Tampa, FL and are sick of the god-awful heat and influx of luxury apartment construction.

@Matthew Paul, I didn’t fire him so much as he told me there would be someone else taking over because he was too sick to continue.  

currently needing to upgrade a new property of mine and am stuck trying to figure out which would be my best option to go with: Combination CO2 & Smoke alarms that are 10yr sealed or just plain jane battery operated.

This is just plain wrong.
