Always super helpful to have another handyman in the city you invest for the minor repairs.

If they want an MLS offer, they are free to make the repairs and list the property.So, the SubTo part, I am very, very experienced.

Purchase price: $450,000 Cash invested: $450,000 Centrally located near Shopping, Entertainment, Transportation and much more.

You find this out by talking to people, speaking with past residents, people in the industry, or mystery shopping the property.Using technology to pull in data so you don't have to manually type it in, is helpful, but other than that, I would not trust automation. 

Owners shop fees in the beginning, but once you're seasoned, you realize fees are usually about the same, and it's really process, procedure, culture, and communication that you're hiring. 

However, many lenders offer only the 7A, so you'll have to shop around.

FHA usually is a lot more stringent when it comes to repairs needed and the seller has to make these remedies or the buyer won't qualify for financing.

I'm slowly making smaller improvements, like paint, light fixtures, and outlets, but my townhouse does need some larger repairs, such as new floorboards for my large deck (not covered by the HOA), an overhead light in the master bedroom, and new flooring in the basement.

Some may have very small thresholds for repair holdbacks on purchases but this is typically limited to make ready items not to exceed $2,500 in costs to cure.

Thank you and be well-ShawnT Buyers aren't necessarily interest rate shopping they are shopping for affordable payments.
