Apologies if I missed prior posts asking the same thingI want to take advantage of the low down payment requirement however need to find a lender supporting this loan type.Can you please provide any recommended lenders for Homestyle loans (or even 203k) that serve DFW? 

when I first started lending in Detroit in 2002.. the rehabbers there would paint the copper in the basements with grey paint in the low light theives would think its galvanized and not take it.

I would just be careful hopping back in now as interest rates and low inventory are making it very difficult if you aren't finding your own off-market options to buy.

So happy for this young man and his young family.One of my bizz partners years ago and mentor.. ( he was President of a fortune 500 company) we belonged to the same country club in Napa.. him in his mansion on the Hill me on my house down in the low lands..

The current rate is extremely low.

Strong job growth, low unemployment rate, and strong population growth.

Seems like a low risk strategy for you to start taking action on your dreams, which is the crucial ingredient towards reaching FI. 

My ideal location would currently actually be Augusta, GA because I really want to start somewhere with a very low crime rate. 

Great to meet you.We source from four primary suppliers: Lowe's, Home Depot, Floor & Decor, and Amazon.
