It's a challenge to be sure, and it gets overwhelmingly frustrating at times, but I've had my eyes on the prize for a good long while now.

I say if you can't afford to do it yourself right now then immerse all of your second jobs into the field you are interested in...Become a bird dog for another investor and get paid a small finders fee if he/she ends up closing on the deal.

And the only way we can afford private school is to invest and get a return on our money.

For example, as mentioned above, all employees of e company must be afforded the benefit of ownership, not just the primary shareholders.It's these smaller rules and regulations that many of the ROBS program providers may not be following, as well as some valuation requirements that aren't necessarily met by self-funding a company.

Lokesh: if the home is owner occupied now and the owner is paying more than 31% of net income for PITI, than she could be eligible for a modification if the lender participates in Making Homes affordable. there are other in house modifications as well.If the homeowner qualifies the minimum payment could be as low as 31% of the owners gross income if you calculate a 40 year amortization at 2% for 70% of outstanding balance with a 30% balloon at the end of 40 years which will have no interest or payments for 40 yrs you will see what a minimum payment could be .

Hey GuysI understand the frustration when looking at multifamilys like this.

These costs can be avoided with a 20% down payment so if it can be afforded, I'd recommend putting this much down.
