Right at this point, I am looking into a re-fi 30 year fixed at 3.375%, or a 20 year fixed at 3.25%.

Here’s a link to the article: http://mashable.com/2012/07/13/realtor-makes-sci-fi-movie/Some of our fix and flip real estate investors have gotten the home staging thing down to a science.

Patrick, I have been compiling MLS sold listings from flips, and viewing the pictures and descriptions of those that sold fairly quickly, at a high % of list price, is very instructive to see what buyers are after, and the types of touches that blow them away and get them emotionally connected to a house.Originally posted by Dash F.:I

Another note here, some banks require 6-12 months of payment history (seasoning) to be able to re-fi.

I dropped out of the class rather than take my first ever "F". I

It was in connection with, as I recall, the fiing of deeds.

Kind of crazy they allow this when it is is pretty difficult to purchase a cash flowing investment property even if you have great credit. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-rebound-buyers-20121114,0,2826111.storyThe story is quite amazing.

Asking price is $199,0001BR/1BA units rent for $990 in the area.I want to get an HML for the ARV, fill the units, and then re-fi with a conventional lender.At 100% occupancy the property is chugging out about 4k a month, which would be enough to cover the $1200 mortgage on a conventional loan.

I have yet to meet a mortgage officer face to face and have closed on a new purchase mortgage and a re-fi.
