In case anyone missed it, credit union, credit union.If the rental property is rented, the rent can be applied @75% to help Your dti ratio, but I haven't seen that help lower the down stroke.Your best bet is to shop with out credit pulls, make face to face appointments, sit in the hot seat and follow some of Jimmy Moncrief's podcast suggestions, even though they are about commercial lending, His advice is solid.John

I took 2 listing appointments in the same community about a month ago.

That was almost a week ago and we still haven't received the paperwork we need to request an appointment with the judge and then it will probably take a week to see the judge.

In wholesaling, from the time you set up an appointment with a motivated seller, to the time you put the property under contract, what should we as wholesalers be looking for?

If they don't trust you to hold it (and why should they), they should be putting the rent into an escrow account to prove good faith until such a time as you have title and/or you are the appointed executor or trustee of the estate.

By the time I am 37 my businesses will be run by those appointed and my wife and I will be on the board of directors monitoring the ship.

Investing in real estate gives me the goal to owning an appointment complex and the drive knowing I can become a business professional and the incentives to help others by giving back to the community by providing affordable housing for single mothers wanting to own an all American dream by helping them purchase their first home.

If they are not willing to pay commission you should still probably set an appointment to tour the property and get the numbers to see if it is a deal that works for you, then if you are still interesting in offering on the property maybe make an agreement with your realtor to pay a small fee for their consulting services instead of signing a buyers rep.

So I jumped on my computer, found a property that was good and required little demand from our shrunken wallets, then set up an appointment to see it.

I've gone and made appointments, given offers, just to get turned down.
