My experience is that lenders are not quite that strict, though I'm not sure I would bet on that.Your will need down payments.

I would bet on 2 outcomes for this woman's house.Either it doesn't exist at all or it has been taken over by gangs.

A good wholesaler is your best bet on finding a fixer-upper for a beneficial price.

So, expect long holding times.Don't know if you're aware of the post office closings mentality of congress but I wouldn't bet on a renewal of the lease so much.
