I can't imagine to many situations were I could be convinced to do this for someone unless perhaps it was a blood relative.

The concern is that there has been a great deal of money put into circulation.

Keep in mind that a "eye for design" is good but not as critical as other qualities such as "smelling blood" (recognize a deal when it appears) - and even more important, to think on how to make it happen at the right cost (construction costs can differ dramatically, when you take non-local labor and know how to get the materials on cheap etc).

I give them my email, phone, eye color, birthdate, blood type, DNA sample, and still no response.Is it me or is this feature just not working???

"Sooooooo I need you to call them and then fill out their forms and then I want you to setup calls at good times of day, and they may not answer, but I want you to keep calling until they do and then I want you to get together some records for them and I want you to fax a copy to one of their people and they don;t use email so I need you to go to a notary and fill out a form you can get from a small shop 45 minutes away and then make a copy out of geniune Elks blood and paper made from the skin of the an elusive Yackani fish"....

Can you get a duplex (or 3-4plex) using a FHA loan with 3.5% WITH a non-occupying cosigner, such as a blood relative?

Big net earnings for years.all of that gets me 1 point and 6.5 in Oregon ( might be able to get 6 but I have 6 to 8 million out with them so I am not going to argue LOL)  and in Charleston I get 1 and 5.5%  one million line of credit there.that's as good as it gets from someone as you said that is not blood kin.. or fell of the turnip truck and struck their head.

My uncle is a carpenter, my aunt a real estate agent, so all this stuff is pretty much in our blood.
