He had me take out a few things like landscape and such to stay under the 50% damaged FEMA guidelines.

I mistakenly created a topic last night about supposedly new guidelines for buyers who have a previous short sale on their credit.

So far I have gambled and just collected the rest.One question I have is what about someone trying to set up an online bill pay using your check and routing number?

For long term strategy i would suggest finding a trust that manages a sector that you're comfortable with (NNN leasing, health care facilities, large residential complexes, etc.) but if you are just looking to do a little gambling, a mortgage based REIT can provide insane div yields, for a while at least.

In their short sales, BPO agents tell me their guidelines are to Not use REO's and short sales as comps.

He owned the home for 11 years and did live in it for 2 out of the past 5 years so it does qaulify under the ownership and use guideline so based on that alone I believe we would qualify for the tax exemption.

Most lenders will underwrite to these guidelines.

We will be selecting opportunities that provide transaction income at first and moving towards wealth building/holding with a split ownership of any properties that we hold.I'm looking for input on guidelines for shaping the terms of the partnership agreement.

Using FHA guidelines, lenders will make a credit determination based on the merits of each case.

& store the rest of the crap in your garage. after 30 days, sell it, dump it, or donate it (assuming 30 days is your state law).take pics of everything after you've cleaned it out. my guess is they just left the stuff behind & their new place has a (better) washer & dryer. if you're really a gambling man, leave the W/D at your place. this will make your rental more attractive to more quality tenants.i think you're fine. these peeps are history.LMAO over the car!!
