Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

Usually the lender will charge an extension fee to keep the same rate.

Hi @Luca Perinuzzi - I can talk about this extensively. 

I’ve been reading extensively on strategies to minimize tenant vacancies through smart investments, and I’ve come to realize that many other factors play a crucial role when managing rental properties.

The SEC claims Fossum misappropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars from the funds by living rent-free in a fund-owned home and having the funds pay for extensive international travel and his federal taxes.

Unless you have extensive experience representing yourself, I recommend using an agent.

We are currently looking at a HUD home in Georgia - I have a couple of questions and can’t seem to find a definitive answer - The home is currently in the OO listing period - our plan would be to buy the home doing extensive renovations (the home is in a “Historical” area so renovations have to be approved) once completed we plan on living there full time - it could take ip to a year to complete or longer I don’t know  - as I see it the OO designation is to be the OO for a min of 12 months - is this after the home has been renovated or after you close on the home - though the house could probably technically be lived in now it does have some water and roof damage and needs complete redo of electrical and plumbing - for me to deem it safe - so not really livable by normal standards - but no way it would be livable in just a couple of months - any thoughts or an actual answer to the OO rules 

@Mic SalvadorThis can vary widely depending on what market you in, how extensive the rehab is, and how you are financing. 

If you want to invest you first need to educate yourself extensively.
