I want to combine being a part time agent with investing so I can eventually transition out of corporate america.

Why not just stay in an Extended Stay America?

Recently, my neighbor put his house up for sale and I'm wondering if I could take a loan from Bank of America.

Given America's average home value, this could easily reach into the tens of thousands of dollars in taxes/transfer fees.Had the parents created an irrevocable trust such finheritance fees could have been avoided or minimized, but oh well, rest in peace.

Our mortgage company for the house we lived in was CountryWide, and then it was sold to Bank of America.

Take a deep breath..... this is America you have more choices/options  than you could ever know.  

I also very much believe in the $30k-$50k asset class in rural America.

If everyone in America who saw a car commercial on television called to let Honda know they don't want to buy a car, they'd have to hire a few more customer service reps.

@Dawn Anastasi yes the couple provided their midwest landlord who I called and got a raving review but it's a private owner so who knows, in retrospect.And they indicated they were staying at Extended Stay America Pasadena since they flew into CA, which struck a chord with me as months ago when I relocated from NYC, I also stayed in Extended Stay America but the one right near Long Beach Airport, until I closed on this house. in retrospect, i realize when i advertised for a housemate on CList months ago, i had initially indicated i stayed at Extended Stay America and had just closed on my home and was looking for a housemate (and found a great one just weeks ago, who is also from NYC but now works for Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department thru a government contractor. would not put it past these characters to have actually stalked my CList posts and gathered info to use to sugar-coat their story. anyways i dont wanna get my housemate involved as he's new but at least he has connections as far as some of his clients, if it comes to that for whatever it might be worth if things escalate and/or become violent. i'm a very diplomatic person, not sure if that helps in this sutation though =/they offered to pay more rent ($300 more per month) and of course i said no, you need to work on finding a new place better and fast before time runs out for your situation. and in reply they (well the father, he does most the yapping) just asked me to install area rugs which they initially agreed to install in the first place even before 3 kids magically appeared in the picture and now are claiming the rugs will help deaden the sound but that I have to furnish them. guess there's suddenly a few screws coming lose as the act is finally falling to pieces. i mean who in their right mind is going to cater to their 'needs' after being lied to and my signature forged (God knows where else?!).

So ive noticed doing some research in the county records, several of the rehabbers in my area who are also licensed brokers keep getting GOOD deals from banks like Nationstar Mortgage, and Bank of America, and they are NEVER listed on the MLS.
