He felt he was an expert because of all the mobile home roofs he had repaired.It seems like a lot of work & in the colder climes I could see the joints that are tarred together cracking/opening up but it may last long enough to re-sell it :)But to fix a leaking joint I have resorted to the tar fix.

Im not a commercial expert, so if that's specifically where your looking to invest, disregard what I just said.

You can usually find an experienced professional to help you set it up or attend a class over a couple days to learn the ins and outs pretty affordable.I am not an expert on the matter but I have used QB in large institutional capital setting and it works just fine.

I'm not an expert but to build credit you have to have to use credit cards.Use the credit cards and pay them in full each month (you don't pay any interest), you can setup automatic payment, to be sure you don't miss any payments.Pay the $215, probably that is the reason your credit score went down.

I'd ask some wholesaler experts on BP and some people who do fix-and-flips (I haven't done either) and get their thoughts.How I did it was I took 2 years to save up for my first down payment on a house and did a buy-and-hold strategy.

“I am not a legal expert but I do know from experience you will have to wait 1 yr to qualify for a 1031. 20% is typically the minimum for conventional financing but 25% for investment actually gets you a better rate, either way you should avoid PMIPersonally, I know your market, you could buy a few SFHs in that area with much less pain and uncertainty at great deals, get cash flow and not have to worry about all these other extenuating circumstances and the transaction cost involved.Hope that makes sense

Now if you have a cash buyer that wants the deal and understands the game they will probably let you do it.I know I would be okay with it as long as the seller was sitting in the other room just waiting to do the paperwork.The attorneys/escrow agent handle all the money so it isn't like they are just giving you a certified check made out to you for the full purchase price and just trust you will pay the seller and give them title.

Not that I'm doubting your expert...ok, maybe I am a little, haha!

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.To find out about the local climate go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers.

That's also my bet as a good attorney wouldn't be suggesting what you have posted above, IMO.I suggest you not even get into Contract For Deeds, that will just blown off this site.Again, welcome to BP, might be a good idea to catch the flavor of this site before blasting in as an expert in any financing matter.
