I am not married and planning a move from Hawaii to the mainland so if I joined streamline Refinancing loans would be the relevant information.

I've spent the last couple of weekends door knocking and the inefficiency is really becoming tedious- am definitely interested in ways to streamline the process.

I am going to look into one of those spiffy new streamlined 203k loans, but from what another poster said, the rates are a bit higher, and there are other fees associated with the loan that might make it more undesirable than say.... one of those 95% LTV loans from BoA.I've never had a hard money loan before, but I see people on this forum talk about them all the time.A missing stove, check, missing fridge, check, missing dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer, light bulbs, and walls check.

Up to $35k in renovations is the "streamline" with less paper work.

I do work in your market but mainly with home builders like Ryan and Foxridge Homes in Brentwood/Franklin and Murfreesboro areas.Hope the info helps.Here are some tips to streamline your cash out at 6 months:- have your original Final HUD settlement statement to document your acquisition- have all receipts and scope of work (SOW)'s to document work done for valuation purposes- get a verbal from local appraiser on opinion letter (usually 50-100 or free with relationship) as it might help your appraisal value you need to get to but if there are a lot of solid comps you will not need this- keep an updated loan file on your desktop broken down with folders for paystubs, bank statements, tax returns, W2's, lease agreements, insurance deck pages, and etc so that when you go to do the loan it will be a slam dunk.Preparation will help reduce your brain damage when getting financing but if you do the above it will make your life a lot easier in advance.

A non streamlined does take a more qualified contractor as they must work in line with the required consultant who must oversee the project. 

No idea if a text message and the pattern of behavior (letting you show new people the place for a 10/1 move) would hold up in court to streamline things if it came to that. 

I'm still educating myself on all ways to make money in this business, my long term goal is to be apart of a company streamlining many deals.

It tends to be a more streamlined process.  

Two properties total (I live in the other).While I'm familiar with tenant screening services, I was more looking for the streamlined effectiveness of what smartmove offers.I'm very familiar with the RTA and how the LTB works.
