Actually, I'm interested in targeting those few unique properties newer than 1980 that yes, have great bones, but look 1980, not 2015.

Probably not, this was a very unique set of circumstances; however, you can copy how I was able to set myself up to find this deal.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience getting approved for an FHA loan while having a large amount of student debt that is still in repayment.

I firmly believe that we all have something unique and valuable to bring to the table, and as a team, we will be stronger and more successful than if we tried to go at it alone.People always chuckle when I say this, but my ultimate goal is to dethrone Donald Trump as the so called king of real estate.

I have personal experience with this net listing VS  undisclosed profit.. as a young buck in RE in the late 70's I sold land in Northern CA... it was much like what wholesalers do now. and I look at different markets and how unique they are.. in some areas folks are buying low value assets IE 5 to 20k adding a 5k fee or so and wholesaling them off to rehabbers and many times those homes end up in some turn key companies inventory. 

Maybe a HM lender could loan you the funds but *only if you have the *solid means* to repay back the loan so that you don't lose your house. 

The emotion is strong and deeply rooted and not unique to the area.

I read Nevada LLC is unique in terms of Asset protection. any recommendations?

I don't want to spend my life in repayment, which is exactly what would happen if I don't find my way out of the rat race.

And therefore, would a balloon payment be allowed, and proof of ability to repay not be required?
