If now Im using my Transunion Service, using Fico version 8, and someone gives me an Experian report with FICO version AutoScore 4, then comparing the 2 is meaningless.Though Im sure legislators writing these laws have very little idea you could have 48 different potential scores that are all still FICO scores. 

The owner of that property in question cannot restore his full VA entitlement until such time as the VA loan is paid off in full.Further, even if you gave him the 3.5% down on FHA, his DTI will still be hit with the payment on that VA loan, almost certainly killing his next home purchase before it even gets going.And if he gives up on homeownership, all the future potential landlords are going to see that mortgage on his credit, and likely consider him unqualified for the rental unit.Unless someone is going to write a check to pay that VA loan off in full, this is a predatory activity and the victim is the owner of the home in question, given his goals and the proposal on the table.Do the right thing.

Hi everyone,I am planning on purchasing another home to househack and I would like to build an ADU ASAP after closing on the house. I've read that with the homestyle loan, an ADU can be built and the funds from the ho...

If this property had been in one of the areas zone for more density they would surely have done a normal "Seattle six-pack" of 0-lot-line townhouses but instead they short platted 2 lots to still in effect end up with a six-pack even though in an area not zoned for it, at the cost of having to sell units as condos and deal with other ADU limitations (e.g. 1000sf limit).In 2023 the State mandated Seattle-style ADU regulations across all urban growth area cities/counties, going even a bit further (2 of any combination of attached/detached allowed).

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

I could write pages about how terrible this has been.

I'm a Realtor in Central Oregon and a client wants me to write a "Subject To" offer.

My family of 6 live and own in a ranch style 3br/2.5ba house with completed bonus room upstairs in a HOA neighboorhood.

That brings up the questions of is it different style than the surrounding houses, is that an issue or demand difference, etc. 

The advice that is presented by those that are writing the best-selling books are to do due diligence and that umbrella policies ALONE are not necessarily the way to go by themselves.
