Only those who persevere survive.

@Rodney Harris - Never heard of NACA so I'm guessing it's an area thing (like we're out in the country so we have a rural development - USDA loan type here) I'm guessing this is similar to USDA but honestly not sure so I'll just shut up on that one.However, FHA is a little bit less smooth than you might think.

Reach out to @Gary Harris - he is working on something like this

If you want to survive in this business you never tell a applicant why they are rejected.

I have some stock left and about 15k in my saving, that's all I have to survive while I'm not a fulll time employee.

You don't need it to live, you don't need it to survive, if you get laid off, get sick, etc. you can walk away kicking yourself in the arse with regrets, and start over.Don't risk the roof over your head to make a few bucks. 

We takeover Oct 1 - survive a major scare of almost losing our key employee and admittedly I had no clue what in the hell I was doing - Thank GOD for my wife helping me through the process and taking the role as counselor, motivator, and sounding board for ideas as we've went through this - she's focused on nursing school as she'll be attending Baker to get her BSN starting here in a week and finally get that out of the way after a few hiccups on the education side in the past. 

Much of our success as due to my wife's great bookkeeping and tenant management - we have been able to survive this nutty business - it's been good.Here are some ideas and concepts that may want to explore:Understand Values - look at as many properties in a given area as you can, 20-50 - it's call the 50 house rule - make no offers - your mission is to understand values, price per sq ft. and understand the culture of sellers, agents and values.

I am starting to load up on a few books by Frank Gallinelli, and Peter Harris to begin.
