We always ran into roadblocks with our credit and lack of sufficient employment history.A couple of decades have passed now and he and I, plus my husband, have tossed the idea around seriously, but none of us has enough financial stability to launch anything.My husband and I are both on permanent disability; we almost lost our house a few years ago during the whole Countrywide/Bank of America debacle.

We do fine financially, but they look at that he has only been employed for 6 months, and this company hires through a temp agency, Then they higher about every 6 months permanent workers from that.

@Caroline Hedin You can edit, but only up to 10 minutes after the original post, or edit, then it is permanent.

My goal:Have enough cash flow that my husband can permanently retire ($200k/y in today's dollars) in 10 yearsAlthough this business will be mine alone, my husband is concerned about how we can accomplish these goals without over-leveraging ourselves.

My strategy has been to buy in areas with large populations of "permanent" people.  

However, many cases involve a child with a permanent disability that will ripen into a conservatorship.In CA, this few guardianship properties there are sold require formal court order, hence are subject to overbidding.In short, personally, I would not solicite these leads for purchase as they do not make very good prospects. 

So I've actually found one - a lender that will do a VA Construction to Permanant loan (and VA Rehab loans to boot).

The Fed has everything to do with driving this "upturn" with stuffing the marketplace so full of hot money that the institutions have no choice but to dispose of it as fast as possible -- which then messes up our signals because it looks like permanent prosperity is here.

All materials shall become the property of Landlord/Owner and be considered permanent fixtures to the property not to be removed therefrom regardless of whether purchased by Landlord/Seller or Tenant/Buyer.4.

It doesn't sound like you have the income to support this, as the home will need to be refinanced into a permanent product after construction.
