I am open to getting professional help so pleaserecommend any, if possibleHi Jodi..most lenders will require a six month seasoning however it’s possible to use the purchase price and do an immediate cash out refi or first position HELOC.

Talk to as many lenders as you can find; you're going to have to hunt, but that doesn't mean someone isn't out there who can make it happen.

While I am there I will be meeting with agents, lenders, viewing properties, and being closer to my rental properties once I purchase them to do the check-in, walk-throughs, maintenance, etc.The other question I run into is what business to put these expenses under.

Your local S8 Housing Commission should have an info sheet on their website that shows their deductions if landlord chooses not to include electric, gas & water.Even more critical, your $680 mortgage amount, that you appear to be comparing to the S8 rent, should include ALL the other housing ownership costs: property taxes, insurance, vacancy/tenant nonperformance (S8 tenant may have to pay part of rent), maintenance & miscellaneous.Suggest you use the BP Calculator for this.

Just curious how that compares to last summer or even 6-8 months ago.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I'd recommend the group but don't know much about some of the other programs so not much to compare it too!

As a private lender for years, I've seen many flippers use unlicensed workers and fail to pull permits.

Lenders that specialize in this property type area are reasonably competitive.

Importing Materials Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
