If this effort gains traction, it could fundamentally reshape the U.S. mortgage market, impacting financing options for real estate investors nationwide.The Role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Housing FinanceFannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that purchase mortgages from banks and lenders, package them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and sell them to investors.

No fees, no minimums, been very happy with them.Unfortunately the note I own is still paying out to my custodian (did checkbook after note purchase) so the money does sit idle.

I recently purchased a burnt building and I'm eager to rehab it.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I recently purchased a second foreclosure property, another condo on the east side, and am looking forward to flipping this one. 

@Wade Wisner -  Most of the notes that we purchase we keep in our portfolio and borrow against them with private capital.

Was previously purchased with a Builder to erect a SFR residence on.

Or buy something that needs some love and some hard money lenders will fund up to 90-100% of the purchase and rehab.

These estimated costs should then be reconciled back to actual costs or the purchase price.Have you had a cost segregation study performed?

That stopped when I stopped using third-party cleaners, but I also started to only leave enough for the stay.I use a small Dawn hand dish liquid that I fill between guests and larger hand soap dispensers in the bath and kitchen that I fill between guests.
