@Ashlee Castro so much missing info!

If you decide you don't want to or can't do an income underwritten by DTI ratios, a DSCR loan is another option.More info on DSCR loans: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.

Let me know if you'd like to receive info when we come across a deal.

Technically the tenant could contact escrow and instruct them to stop making payments, but the money would then be held by escrow until both parties agreed upon forward action or a court ordered action.

@Marc Rice The best Real Estate Agents have trusted contacts who can get inspection items taken care of.

Thanks for this @Andrew Freed and @Kevin Luttrell - this is really helpful info!

I have about 3 agents I work with and they are super when giving me info on REO properties.I always tell the agent to put in the contract that earnest money will be given after approval.

Thanks so much for all the info.
