Its not cigarettes or pets or body odor or mildew or even simply dirty people.

It is possible to purchase a “fixer upper” home but the issues cannot be major.

Freddie:  Based on what I determined from the census tract lookup and program guidelines, the property is located in a 'high cost area', so my income does fall below the upper threshold.  

Would a Lender use the $ that I have in my HELOC account ........... would they let this count towards being $ that I have in a " Savings Account " , as they want to see that you have 6 months of Rent saved up " Per " rental / your own personal Residence that you have Thank you for the input and help 

My 2500 purchase was one of 18 Dodge and Ford trucks with service bodies (Knapheide in my case) that went to action on the same day.

Always happy to help those local to me in SW Ohio and Northern KY.With that said, technically you can qualify for a 203K loan with ANY amount of repairs (no upper limit) as long as the foundation is intact. 

My credit score has always been in the mid to upper 700's but was badly damaged by a timeshare that I purchased over 20 years ago. 

We will be buying a fixer upper to live in and renovate after we have a cash producer in our portfolio.

That is not for 'fixer uppers'.
