Looks like this could be a big boost for you!

My understanding is that the borrower must be current, and their property must be at least 15% underwater, so there isn't too much worry about moral hazard.Sure, the investor in the initial loan loses big time on paper, but not much more (and maybe even less) than they would eventually lose in FC.

I was told I could probably get at least 45k out of it If I fixed the roof and did some cosmetic stuff, I was thinking about trying to turn that carport into a garage too as I think that might boost the price a little.

Some other investors may have ways that you would not even consider based on your ethics or moral background.

Moral of the story, take time to understand who you are working with and be mature about reality to some extent, the broker wants to make a fee, the seller wants to sell at a high price.

I want to live in it for a while, and get it looking great, which will very very easily boost its value as a rental.

It is always appreciated when someone who knows what they are doing is willing to help the rest of us that are just getting started and needing an extra boost of confidence.

Changing from an envelope to a postcard will most likely boost responses and cut down on your "prep" time.

But, you have to ask yourself about the morality of a company that wants to be paid upfront fees to help someone in a financial crisis.You also have to question the 50% success rate.

But getting the report for $15 instead of $25 is a nice boost, especially if I'm going to run two reports per family.
