That's giving you a swift kick in the tail, employers and successful people want those who complete goals, will make things happen, regardless of the roadblocks or hardships encountered.

I also don't have to worry about any of the hidden costs that you inevitably encounter when you start rehabbing an old house.

I do have the cash for the numbers he told me but I got a little sticker shock.

Aloha Natasha, Somethings I do when I encounter a situation like this is I just subtract what the back taxes are from the offer and let the customer know that I will be paying that off, when you assume a property, those taxes are assumed by you (normally) but I would find out for sure depending on your state.

Here are examples of what I encountered:1.

As far as the negative attitude towards newcomers to the area, I have heard rumors that is was like that, but I've never encountered anything since I've been here.

It's not illegal for a mortgage company to fund a loan sold by an owner, but it needs to be fully disclosed.Your MC will need an office, a sign on the door, a HUD sticker, a bank account for escrows and funding, a telephone and if servicing a toll free number along with local office complaince issues, it's not that hard.You could have an independent MO originate seller financed notes as well, that's another strategy but I believe in the current environment this would be cleaner.

We are in our mid forties and have had some awkward encounters with applicants, so guessing you would face that even more.

I have met a few women here over the past few years that could easily go toe to toe with any of the men I have encountered as well.  

No matter what you encounter you will deal with it and thank yourself later!
