Then a hiring increase for local regulation officials or private sector to assess housing quality & approve it.

Hi @Justin Snead, I would say just make sure wherever you take the pre-licensing class is IDFPR approved. 

We manage a property that was having drain field issues for awhile, got estimates and had the owner approve one of the vendors.

Are mobile homes Section 8 approval?

Bankers are generally not aware of hard money loan options, and even if they are, they don't generally refer them when they believe they can approve a loan to you from their bank.

Upon my research of the FHA loan and the house hacking strategy, I know one of the perquisites for getting approved and not committing fraud is to live in the residence for at least a year.

Hi @Christopher J Driscoll I am doing something quite similar to your approach, my ADU permit should be approved quite soon, I am still waiting on my last LADWP clearance.

Banks must approve a short sale for a short sale to take place, and banks hire appraisers and other real estate agents to perform broker price opinions (BPOs), or estimated values of the home.The goal would be to negotiate with the seller before the home becomes a short sale. 

They do have you approve different settings that prices your property at the 50th percentile of your market or 75th percentile etc.

At the beginning Blue gate said we were good with the loan approval.
