@James McGovern- most lenders can get underwriting done  that fast  as long as they are provided with 100% of the data they need PLUS getting any disclosures needed signed immediately too 

If you want to avoid the lengthy process of securing permits and navigating ordinances, you can always opt for long-term rental for the first year.

Assuming it is their personal residence for 2 of the last 5, the best thing would be to sell it from their name.

Hi all,I have a ditch which is 150 feet wide, 100 feet long and 2 feet deep in the back with a city catch basin in the middle.

It's always effective, no matter what the market, as long as you have a tight hold on values. 

Hey Everyone, I have been working with investors for last 5 years and helping them in lead generation using different marketing channels like sms, cold calling, rvm, direct mail and google ads... 

Hi Sam, you may consider a fixed rate HELOAN as opposed to a variable rate HELOC if the funds are going to be for long term use, such as a down payment on a new property.

I've been practicing real estate for the last 4 years plus I'm also based out in Philly.

But whats been happening the last year or two is the criminals are coming out into the counties and then returning to the city .
