-Jacob Not a big deal, but what comes up is that typically you cannot use rent derived from your departing primary residence to qualify.

Does anyone know how to get a hold of the Caliber Home Loans REO department?

I still have a great relationship with that commercial department but they would laugh me out of the room (hopefully after I left) on a $175k deal.I'm 35 and I tend to lean toward bankers around my age.  

Dear all, sort of new here.

A local bank here epically messed up a deal for me but I was able to salvage it (had to come up with an extra $10-15k in a day) and still closed, but their negligence did almost cost me a great deal...I was pissed but let it slide - just won’t use them again.Fast forward to yesterday, I’m talking to a dear friend who is buying her first investment property with her husband and the deal fell through epically.

Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park aren't bad areas, but Evergreen Park's building department is a PITA.

Why don’t you call the police department?

We needed a permit and to be registered to remit room taxes (the name of the permit eludes me at the moment) and we also needed a health inspection and permit from the Health Department.

I then called around to local banks in the area, they put me through to the commercial lending department, and they were able to provide the remaining rehab financing and some cash out (they paid off the original owner finance too and took 1st position).I didn't have a ton of experience but good income and credit.
