lets say the build finishes at Dec 2016, he could then apply for conventional 30 year in Jan 2018?

Some charming gals ordered me to lower my rent by $165/month--more than I can do.An amusing detail: One guy toured the studio I'm renting, told me he couldn't afford the rent (he'd been misinformed about its amount), then came back later and applied saying he couldn't find anything in the area under $1,000/month (I'm asking $615 for this particular unit).

Apply for a credit card from a major bank.

Please mail me $50 and I will give you the key piece of information, one word, to be applied to real estate to be successful.Frank

I plan to continue living on the same budget and apply all of my self and my resources to real estate.

Plus, if it's in the county - translate rural, there is generally no code enforcement, permitting or inspection.With that said, if you're dealing with a flat roof, or even a section of the roof, there's no asphalt shingle that should have ever been applied to it.  

This was still a great deal for us, but I wish I would have refinanced into a lower interest 30 year loan and applied the difference monthly to the loan. 

This may not apply to what you want to do and the market has definitely went up But have faith, keep searching.  

I would be applying for crappy $700 apartments.  

A friend has a condo unit rented to some guy, this guy got a girlfriend and tried to move her in, so with the owner consent they apply to the HOA and she was rejected, so the gay brought her in anyways without the owner awareness.
