Technically, the guy would have died from a "heart attack," but that would hardly be a full and honest description of what really happened.(2) he may have had a heart attack recently, been on blood thinners, and then some otherwise minor incident led to massive bleeding.I'd say there's also a good chance the whole thing has just been sugar-coated as the story passed from person to person.

Here is a good description of lis pendens http://dictionary.law.com/default2.asp?

Perhaps you are referring to the listing Realtor and not someone who you hired to help you find a home.The problem from a conventional financing standpoint is that you have multiple residences on one legal description which makes this a multi-family property beyond the "normal" 1-4 unit residences acceptable to conventional lenders. 2)What is typically done to avoid making a down-payment and/or paying closing costs.If you are asking specific to this property, there probably is no 100% financing option available so you may have to pass on this one.Generally speaking there are many programs for little or no down-payment and you should be talking to a mortgage lender about what you can afford and qualify for prior to looking at homes.As for closing costs, you may qualify for city or county down-payment assistance programs (which are more typically used for closing costs instead of down-payment).

jlabelle,first of all, i love posts like this - people always jumping the gun trying to "correct" everyone else.bank certified appraisers or appraisers who do appraisals for banks...is that a better description????

I would suffice to say, if you call yourself a bird dog or referral specialist or jobber or wholesaler, and that is what you actually do by the aforementioned descriptions, you are still operating within the spirit of the law and what it was intended to be and should not have legal problems.

I met a gentleman the other day and he told me that this is the group he targets to rents to.

At the REIA, I met a woman who owned about 50 rentals (which seemed like a lot at the time) and had been in the rental property business for many years.

I met a person who has a mentors team, and I really think I need some help to start out.

but even then, i've met a handful of agents that had been in business for awhile, and didn't seem to know anything besides how to fill out the trec contract...

I made a template with; address, legal description, date of acquisition and capital cost.
