Due to a short sale on my credit report, I'm not eligible for conventional financing.

One characteristic that he had that is in direct opposition to landlording conventional wisdom is his obsession with improving the user's experience (not shareholder profits).This is a stretch even for me - Mr.

I'll begin refinancing into conventional here in July.

TD's REO list shows lots of land / lots in their inventory - you might be able to use that somehow to your advantage:http://www.tdbank.com/exc/pdf/OwnedForeclosedRELIST.pdf

Yes there is a due on sale clause in any conventional or govt. loan, such will NEVER come into play setting a residence in a family trust.

As I suggested to, take some classes about conventional RE operations.

If I had tenants stay multiple years, it would add up well too.I am also wondering if I continued to market it as-is to conventional renters and with the changes for Section 8.

If you have good credit (720+), have been at this for a couple of years at least, and have solid income outside of real estate, why wouldn't you go ahead and do 70% LTV conventional cash out refinances on four of your highest priced properties?

That might be signing off on asset inventory as you acquire it by both of you which states what the item is and cost and where it is to be stored or any other relevant detail to create yourself a paper trail.

What you have to do (in my opinion) is go after the deals that are not financable (FHA or conventional) and must go all-cash only.
