I acquired both of these properties this year so I haven't owned them long.Does anyone have suggestions for obtaining financing (specifically financing with houses as collateral) to move forward in rehabbing and flipping properties and acquiring rental properties?

@Brian Gibbons: I know that most people lease option to obtain "pretty houses" that they eventually sell but what I am wondering if I can use the lease option to control a house that I want to keep as a buy and hold?

However, negotiation of a revised purchase offer is not precluded, should the parties so desire.What should I do so that the Purchase contract after assignment does not have inspection contingency, if I cannot remove the inspection contingency do I have to return the non-refundable deposit money obtained for Assignment of contract.

Make sure you understand the process for that specific area, here there is no priority amongst multiple lien/certificate holders.

So in all conventional loans, a buyer may pay more for a property and still obtain finance, they simply have to put more money down to make up the difference.

And in those types of jobs experience matters more than a certificate.

"Inability" (you have the ability) to obtain insurance after a certain point in the contract timeline may not necessarily be a get out of jail free card.

I have a primary residence in Maryland (between Baltimore and D.C.) and I would like to obtain a couple flips in Maryland or possibly purchase a duplex as a rental.

You also have a checkbook control and dont have to obtain custodian consent when making investments.

Many HML's sell their individual notes to investors, some obtain their lending cash by running a mortgage pool, and others will simply originate a loan for you to a borrower you select.
