One of them advertised that you can borrow up to 120% of the home's value.Otherwise, Charlie's suggestion is probably the best option, although more costly: Private money, then refi with a VA loan.Please keep us posted on progress.If you want to PM the address to me, I'll check it out on Redfin and see if I can spot any snakes in the neighborhood etc.Fly Navy!

Seems not to be sewer water..... am I likely snaking a drain and fixing a burst pipe?

There's snakes in every aspect of this business but implying there working with turn key companies is somehow more risky is really doing a disservice.

With all the regulation in place. it is easy to find yourself on the wrong side of a judge.And lastly, I think @Jim Viens has the best answer as your reputation will get you more deals over a lifetime than a lying snake will ever get in today's market.

I use IFTTT to set up automatic things like that.One idea for the "magic sprinkle" that I came up with today....and I'm hoping no local investors steal my thunder... but I'm going to set up a bunch of letters that express my appreciation for the property or the sellers' situations, and include the appropriate letter with each offer that I submit.It is all one lot.

Forget about all the snake oil books get your questions answer here on BP.

The problem I have is though everywhere I research to learn a new tactic or am interested in a "guru" I have to drop tons of cash to buy into something that I have no guarantees their "snake oil" is the trick.

Plan on having every drain snaked as well.Sam

This is just another snake oil salesman.

Like the get rich by investing mindset and conferences, feels slightly snake oil salesman to me again with so many middle/upper middle class americans jumping all in on these investments
