Hopefully, no one here is near that low level of wealth but Congress passed a law allowing for a 5 year lookback period to determine eligibility for Medicaid.

That's why I like the heloc and it's interest only payback and a quick fixer upper and onto the next project.It's easy to do sitting here at a keyboard.

I have been considering taking the leap into the "fixer upper" market.

I think you're taking it to the next level here.

This might present a more low risk fixer-upper for your first time.

Investing is a profession and doing it right takes a certain level of effort.Of course, the flip side is that without direct MLS data...the full data and not the watered down version off Realtor.com...it's harder to find your deals or do any sort of statistical research without paying an arm and a leg for the primary data.

Hopefully the day will come where all of this makes sense.When you sell your house hopefully you do so at a level where you can pay back the bank the money you borrowed from them at the start.

At this point these folks tend to pay better because they've learned how to manage their money better and they know that they have to pay rent on time or they're going to be evicted.On the other hand... if I am renting in a middle/upper class area then I am very interested in a person's FICO score.

Lets bring this place to the next level!

We can't seem to find any great deals on fixer uppers.
