Would loan officers be more inclined to lend to my husband and I knowing we have a background and experience in home construction?

I'm inclined to agree with @Nathan G. -- but I also recognize they attempted to resolve the situation themselves, and that I was unable to provide the color sample.

I'm inclined to believe him because of his experience.  

Thank you for your takes on the main strategies - my inclination has been to start with flips to raise funds and gain experience with the rehab process before taking on being a landlord.

With the pending recession on the horizon I’m inclined to just tough it out through the school system for another few years but I’m truly burnt out and I know I’m wasting my time there.

Please advise.Thank you A contract for deed should spell out when title is legally transferred if it is to be before the note is fully paid off. sometimes the seller isn’t inclined to perform his duties under the CFD, such as paying his mortgage, not pledging the property for a new loan, transferring legal title as required in the contract, etc. 

This is useful in cases in which a contractor may have a claim, as they more often than not will be inclined to sue the party that they contracted with than the actual owner.

Even though I had the time and the inclination to invest actively, I don't feel I built true wealth for retirement. 

I spoke with the tax collector today and he said the owner had a reverse mortgage and all taxes are currently up to date.So finally, here's my question....when making an offer to a bank owned house (with the reverse mortgage in mind), would they be more inclined to accept a lowball offer? 

A blend of the two is ideal in the first few years if you are inclined.
