Quote from @Paige Corsello: Hi Bobby, the majority of my business is in Pittsburgh, PA and Florida Paige I can go 80% cash out in PA In FL I can go 75% cash out and 80% rate and term

Yes, the settlement checks will start flying soon. 

These companies are fly by night hence why they don't buy their own properties...

Since leaving FL I have been doing fix-n-flips in TN, CA, GA, NC and VA.
