Owners can usually pull their own for most types of work.

Go talk to some local banks/portfolio lenders about refiing and pulling some money out to purchase more.

Chances`are, if you find people who can drill through a project like this, they will know more than you will, they can pull the deal down or have someone else pull it down if it's a great deal.

I've definitely been pulling my hair out over this!!

exactly....you would NOT believe what we have seen pulled out of the blower motor because they removed the filter (but forgot to replace it).We even had one filter so clogged it got sucked into the blower motor fins & was subsequently shredded.I can remember the days when you had to go in once a month & oil the blower motor bearings by hand but those suckers ran forever.

Would a lender (I know all lenders are different)feel that they are trying to pull one over on the lender or just playing by the rules that the lender has provided.

If there are other liens behind the mortgage, those are all now ahead of you, making it harder, if present.For the first mortgagee, they simply have to pull title and name all of you in the foreclosure complaint and you are all wiped out.

Usually 2 to 3 buyers total at that point to pick from.If the seller is not that motivated to sell and the unpricing draws offers they are not excited about they might pull the property off the market all together.

After a year, pulled the trigger.

At the same time, I attended a workshop the other day given by a Wells Fargo rep and the group discussion at one point turned to pre-approvals and making sure the bank had pulled credit reports, etc.
