Are there any broker outlets to broker the Fannie mae solar panel loans?  There is a refi program that allows borrowers to cash out their equity for solar panels with special guidelines but i can't find an outlet/lend...

Only has a PO box and a friend at a local business who will take messages(and also gives her legal advice).I have given 30 days notice, but I'd bet money she wants to take this to court ect.I want to try to do a cash for keys but I am not hopeful (I tried once already and she ignored it).Help, is there nothing I can do but brace for the pain? 

Think about it, you could potentially buy low, renovate, and cash-out refinance at 75% LTV.

Then less than two years later I was able to refinance into a conventional mortgage, take out a HELOC on the property and use my VA to purchase another property.

Get a new appraisal on the property so that MIP is removed (or do I have to refinance for the new appraisal to matter)? 

But you don't have to do it in such a way to limit your active investing.Use refinances now while money's easy to separate your debt from cash properties and personal from business.I'm guessing that IN has protections for homeowners and your primary residence. 

I plan to refinance in couple years. 5.50% is high and I was very surprised at the quote with my credit being 800.

Could take out a HELOC on the property or do a cash out refinance to pull your money back out of the deal!

Either do a cash out refinance or sell the home and then roll that equity over.Don't use hard money lenders.

To the best of my knowledge you can’t get into a fourplex for under 20% if you already own a home.If you refinance the FHA loan you may be able to use that again and grab a fourplex.Tim Swierczek may be able to provide more insight.
