I can pay some va's 400 to make 1,000 callls per week.

The reality is those that are in default now when you buy the note those folks are going to be high touch and while some will get their act together a very high % will end up foreclosing and taking title to the asset..

@Parmesh P. there is no such TDA paying 7% or even 6% long term,5 years or longer.

I was wondering if it is worth paying for BP pro membership for the special discount with Home Depot (e.g. flooring, appliances, etc). 

We pay $850 for a WH install, so, that seems high but you are in CA.

I LOVED getting a loan through DR Horton on a DR Horton build, that I had to pay for a DR Horton appraisal.

This is a the perfect vehicle to use for short term like buying a  property with cash, then refinancing the property to pay the line of credit back in full, and use it again.   

But this was an awesome opportunity for me because this is my first living situation where I will be on my own (and getting used to paying a rent/mortgage) but this will put my overall mortgage on a 400k house at roughly $2000 a month for the first year!

@Jon D. some questions, the answers may help you better focus.1) Why did you pay your primary mortgage off in the first place?

I guess the different strategies FOR ME would be.A- Find a lender that would actually do the refi and pay the tax.B- Sell a property and use those funds to lend as they would go back to the IRA.
