I myself have felt more than a few times that my post must have entered a black hole or something.

Came across Robuilt’s Black Friday offering for his Comping Course Black Friday deal.

My bookkeeping firm provides me with a steady active income, which allows me to keep doing deals, cover unexpected expenses, and navigate the occasional black swan event.

Owning a US passport is gold, overseas.The black motorcycle in the middle and the guy kind of facing it, is Marvin. 

My goal is to support the Black community to become self-sufficient, self-reliant, and self-determinant.

I put the opinion "commissions have always been negotiable" in the same category as Henry Ford's famous statement of "you can have any color Ford you want, as long as it is black."

It sucks to admit that there wasn't tight oversite on the deal to ferret this out b4 the sale happened and its subsequent consequences and it sucks for your client that they have made, for at least the time being, an investment that is not going to be in the black in the immediate future. 

Not only am I sorry you lost money but it gives a black eye to us legitimate lenders everywhere.

Federal programs will require you to use GC/licensed folks for a lot of the work and they will get reimbursed by the institution that your loan is with; many GCs don't want to wait on the float time of requesting funds and getting them.Depending on the program and rehab/condition of the home, you may not be required to live in the home (think black mold remediation...bank isn't going to put you in a compromised position) however they may have min/max of when you need to move in.
