And to use such potential rental income the lender has to classify the home as investment, which makes the minimum down become 15%.

Steve-don't know why they classified them as a 'cost' but copied right off the loan doc.Dion - I believe Fannie doesn't contribute to closing costs on investor loans.Bryan- I believe Fannie's Homepath doesn't allow for concessions for these investor homepath loans.Again, the above is what I believe to be true based on what I've read and been told; if someone knows for sure this to be false please jump in.Basically I've been doing a lot of reading on the Homepath and Efannie docs trying to do my own research, but could be wrong.

Now, on the other side of the classifieds is a phone number to the owner/manager of the park that says "2&3 bdrm's for sale (xxx) xxx-xxxx".

Environmental is a non issue and would actually be benefitial since Florida has big tax incentives for redevelopment of brownfield and would  likely be something we would be pushing to have the land classified as since it also eliminates alot of the legal issues of redevelopment as well. 

Or grab a newspaper (The Argus, Tribune, or Mercury News) and look in the classifieds under legal notices.

To fill a unit put a classified ad in the major local news paper and a sign in front of the house and another sign the busiest street near by pointing traffic toward your duplex along with a phone number to call.

A more effective way to get in touch with people I think is to place ads in the American Classifieds and putting up street signs.
