“However, strong borrower credit characteristics and favorable home equity build-up for the majority of homeowners should moderate the frequency and severity of ultimate mortgage insurance claims.”

Goal is to slowly build up your real estate empire and live off with the passive incomes.

Quote from @Christina Swaby: Pen-and-ink changes are allowed on contracts.

We were told just a year ago that we could scrape part of land and build up a certain amt of feet above BFE.

You need to build up some 5 star reviews to get things rolling.

The best thing to do is to build up a strong team with an investment specialist realtor / broker, property manager, contractors, inspectors, lenders, title companies, ect. 

I used a fix-n-flip property and bought a 2nd office building in K-ville with a 1031 Exchange.

They forged documents, have the assessor for king county as one of their CEOs (my property was in Clark county WA but my property title was changed in King county WA where he WAS the assessor) hsbc had to pay me and countless others for bad foreclosure practices and that caused them to go bankrupt and my loan was floating and I essentially owned home free and clear due to terms of the contract stating that if loan was to be sold that hsbc my husband and I and the new proposed lender had to all meet in person and sign new paperwork permitting the transfer of the loan which never happened.

Then build up reserves and investment funds.

agreed here, I'd rather build up than build down in an older home
