I am an investor and licensed Virginia Realtor living in Northern Virginia who enjoys transforming and improving communities by rehabbing run down and abandoned properties and making them available to families who would otherwise be unable to afford a home.

Usually, not always, when you purchase property, you are actually purchasing the land with the improvements to the land (i.e.

We usually name the land trust, "last Name family trust" or "123 Maple St Land Trust" When mortgage companies see this they typically see it as estate planning and as long as the payment s are being made I have never heard them call a loan due. you can ask your local investor friendly title company if they have an attorney on staff who can create the trust for you.

Luckily BP was able to stop things on their end before they got out of control.... but my blog had to be shut down and any of my online accounts deleted.Reporting posts with my information and emails to their support staff went unanswered and my information was online for days before I finally got it down.  

First, start with where you are: Clean up or improve your credit, work on saving. 

Improve it, get the better rents and force appreciate it.  

If appraisal comes in $100k or higher, we intend to get bank financing and with the improved equity position, put no money down and move onto the next deal.  

You can't take cash out with it but you can make repairs & improvements.  

Now, we are landlords of that property with great tenants and slowly but surely improving values.The goal is to acquire our next property, hopefully a flip, at the end of the year.
