I guess the strain of all this got to me.

I just have this concern that if there is a double dip in housing or some other event which leads lenders to tighten, then they might lessen it or even possibly freeze it.

Plus I have been doing repairs (hanging security screens, replacing doors, light plumbing, paint etc) as well as being on call and arranging tradesmen for stuff I can't fix.We've been friends for a long time but this is putting a strain on things as you can imagine--how would some of you approach this?

Though if you can, I would tighten up your area a bit and keep the signs big.

My POF is about to tighten up is why I am asking.This area must be different than others, in that I am finding REO's listed at 50-60% of ARV frequently.

Or if there aren't any holes, I'm sure there's something to tighten up my savings plan.

You may want to call them up to verify, as some lenders have tightened further in December from what I understand.I've since had discussions with a seasoned mortgage lender with US Bank who says that they'll go to 6 financed properties.You probably know that FNMA permits up to 10, though the underwriting is rigid.

In any event, this ruling will certainly impact other sectors of the real estate industry and may yet further tighten lending as banks turn a more conservative and perhaps wiser and traditional approach on their lending.

If you really want to place a fan there, change the box to metal and make sure the Romex (the large white or yellow sheath with the other wires inside it) is properly connected with a good strain relief.Like Stefen said, make sure the box is properly supported for a fan.

Although I don't know that the current administration and the Fed are thick as thieves, it's atypical for the Fed to raise rates during a presidential election, setting aside tightening activity in the early part of the last decade.
