I will reread to brush up.

It was winter time and the ground was soft and muddy. 

It is a reasonable price, and is the perfect soft tone grey that is agreeable with any trim and both gray and tan tones.

I know a few Hard Money guys in the OKC metro, but man I would always recommend against HM if medium money or soft money is an option. 

It's legal and saves major headaches if there are problems.Ironically, in the above situation, the owner (being a soft-hearted man) paid the tenant the equivalent of a one-night stay in a decent local motel. 

Evidence is stacking up that residential real estate has at least hit a soft patch.

It was just a convenient way to show the bank with one statement the number they wanted.The proof of funds for REO's is a pretty soft requirement.

Glad you liked it, yes it is a really good soft-flip loan with much better terms than hard-money. 

We did, however, know our FICO scores in advance and let one lender do a soft pull to confirm what we already knew.Next agent who asks you that, if you choose to continue talking to them (I wouldn't) you can turn it around on them as ask who their preferred lenders are and let hem know that you're happy to consider their recommendations.Check the agents listed here on BP and see if anyone works in your area.

Brush up on building code requirements: in basements you're looking for egress windows that are 5.7 sq feet or more openable (3ft by 3ft casement style windows work best), and ceiling heights 6ft 8 inches or greater (as little as 6 ft 4 inches is ok under ductwork and beams though)Sounds like your basement would be a home-run to generate some extra rental income - Happy to talk through the details of that strategy with you, just shoot me a DM!
