The thing I hate about mortgage brokers is they sell your loan to another bank so the rules ate pretty set in stone and they can't really makr exceptions.

Coons ate my trash that's a good one. ?

Nothing about $5000 did not fix and I was afraid to turn into insurance so I ate it all.

Meanwhile we had to carry the financing and development costs which more than ate up any profit.  

Holding costs (taxes) would have ate into the profit also.

Hello @Rob Gillespie, I don't live near Beaver but In my traveling sprinkler fitter days I spent a lot of time in and around the Pittsburgh area as well as your home state working near Cleveland, Ashtabula (loved it there) and Napoleon at Campbell Soup (never ate canned soup again lol).

You might just as well ask me if the dinner you ate tonight would have tasted better with more salt. 

They let my place get ate up by termites and tried to call it my fault.

I've never met you, but I file a lawsuit right now and claim you ate my dog.

Just make sure you learn the market to a tee and also build a team in the market to help you jump in.Be careful and conservative in your financials!
