Anyone have an explanation for that?

If wife gets her name added to the title on any of the previous 2 homes owned by husband - according to lender - she will have a VERY HARD time in removing her NAME from the title of those previous 2 or 1 homes - because underwriter will DEMAND a letter of explanation and unless the wife is GETTING separated or divorce or unless the husband is refinancing the loan = the Underwriter will DENY her letter and ALSO DENY her the "primary residence loan" that she wants to get for the 3rd home.Is it making sense?

@Peter M.Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Long explanation here but I hope this helps.Seasoning - what type of seasoning are you looking to avoid specifically? 

Industry specialization trumps geographic proximity.

I'll be expanding my geographic area slightly for my absentee owners out to some areas of Contra Costa County in hopes of accelerating my success.Still plugging away daily and hopes are still high my first deal is around the corner.

I would always look at geographically confined areas to invest in.

For explanation purposes I will make the math easy.

In any event if it were me and I was interested in the property I would ask the agent/seller and maybe even put it, (an explanation) in the written sales contract for the property.

@Steve Babiak - thanks for the explanation @Bill S. - wow, 6 figures?!
