If they can't physically be there, then they can give the vendor permission to enter the home without them present.

Their only product line left is farm/ranch.

I really liked the product.

It's not uncommon for buyers using FHA products to face rejected offers or the need to significantly sweeten deals to compete with those favoring conventional loans.

There are some connectivity issues with it, but overall a good product.

For this product most lenders will go off of the purchase price plus your rehab cost for a conventional loan.

And the above examples I don't think are good analogies - renting a crane and using it for other productive work is not the same thing as renting something and just pocketing the middle man fee.

There tons of old duplexes that need renovating, and vacancy rates for a nice product are very very low like 1-3%.

Also, is the only way to invest in other states by hiring a property manager, since its not possible to be there physically?

I urge my fellow lenders to utilize the power of google before they try and put borrowers into less advantageous products like DSCR loans.
