The avg equity position upon completion is about $150K with avg rent of $2,500 leasing in 3 weeks or less post CO. 

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

I had a non-performing loan once where a borrower would do a deed in lieu, but there was a deceased co-borrower, and my attorney required me to go through the foreclosure process to clear title.The borrower knows you’re foreclosing and does not contest the foreclosure and “turns over the keys” to the lender.  

It sounds like the Title Co. was not aware that the tenant prepaid rent and just prorated the current rent for the month of closing, so agree if they had no knowledge of it, would not have ever gone on the settlement statement as a credit to the buyer and they likely will not do anything post closing to help obtain those funds. 

I recently moved back to the U.S. after almost two decades working in international development and entrepreneurship across the African continent, from co-founding a tech-enabled logistics company in Ghana to negotiating public-private partnerships for infrastructure investments in Senegal.

@Reid Ervin Great questions—there’s a lot to unpack here, but I’ll share what I’ve learned from my own experience, especially from a flip turned BRRRR, that I partnered on last year in Longmont CO.

In Omaha, smaller multi-unit builds with shared amenities like co-working spaces are cacthing on.

You'll probably need a co-borrower and someone to gift the down payment.There's a Conventional loan (FNMA family opportunity loan) that allows your parents to purchase a home for you (and potentially roommates) to rent while you're still in college.

I co host properties in cape cod- definitely can use this 

Tightening restrictions in Colorado have deterred my acquisition strategy here.
