To start, this began back in 2012, but took me a while to get some traction and realize real estate was the way I wanted to go.Let me provide the brief version:First property I purchased was a short sale in Clintonville in Columbus, Ohio.

From our short discussion, they said they'd secure my financing, fix and flip the home. 

The short-term effects will be seen by a plethora of homes coming on the market for far less than we have ever seen and on the opposite end of the spectrum with higher/dryer homes escalating in prices - I hate to sound insensitive, but clever investors will have a lot of opportunities.

If I get a response on one of the properties, I will then assess the value and financial situation, see how much they owe and proceed accordingly with a short sale (if possible) or simply buy the house from them.  

Hi Quinton,This may or may not be applicable to you, but if by "unemployed" you mean "on temporary disability, but my job is waiting for me when I get better, and we have an estimated return to work date," than this would be a scenario where ADA trumps ATR and you can still get a traditional mortgage.Fannie guideline on long-term/permanent disability, on social security disability, and on what may be applicable to you: "temporary leave income," which includes short term medical disabilities.For that last one:Just like women/men on maternity/paternity/pregnant leave, a gap between temporarily reduced income due to medical condition, and your normal income, can be made up for using asset depletion.

Oh, Sorry I guess the discussion was a bit too short and sweet.

I've been on BP for a short amount of time.  

We have had great interest and have had 3 short term booking and 1 booking for 19 days within 1 week.

@Toni Annis You won't have depreciation really to speak of with such a short hold.  

Your hold time is way too short.
