Looking forward to exploring the area and looking for more investments around the area.

@Jeremy Bohnett most lenders will refi up to 75-80% LTV after you have rehabbed the property and have a tenant in place.

I think most of us do, but the problem that I've discovered with 15% down programs over the past couple of years is the balance between the cost of the home and the rent it can garner.

When will the next investor meet up be in town?

So, for me a good score is an easy YES, but a bad score just means I need to look more carefully and ask follow-up questions. 2.

In fact, come to the USA and live off of those of us who pay taxes.  

Most lending is based on cashflow, not the 2% rule (although still a good rule of thumb for some types of investments), might have the most help from the group if you provided some of those details here just so it'd be easier for us to help you best. 

The tenant in common nature of the ownership would tell me that you would only be related to your mother in laws portion at the most. 

The properties that I own, our vacation rentals that can host large groups.

Thank you again for all of the help.
