I had a very successful HML company there funding mid 2000  turnkey guys/gals. 

Continue crushing it as a rental agent and saving up.

The best rate is, more than likely, the one that the property currently has.Helocs and Second Mortgages can go up to a 95% CLTV and though it will have a higher rate than a full refi, its worth comparing the average blended rate vs a full refi at todays rates.I wouldnt be the one to help you in Illinois but I can put you in touch with someone else within my company.

Hi Chris -  My company specializes in helping homeowners navigate state housing regulations.If your life circumstances change and you move out before 3 yrs is up, you will not be penalized.

It seems every company I talk to is a general contractor. 

Its nice to see its still affordable to find a good lot and have a new MFH brought out by the MFH company. 

hello group, I am actually a contractor in dallas/fort worth area and help commercial clients in the insurance restoration industry, we pretty much make there insurance companies pay for new roofing, siding, etc whatever applies. 

You need a team of:General contractor, property inspector, trustworthy lender (they will have appraisers, and title company), property manager (make sure is large enough that if the person that manages it gets sick someone else will cover), insurance agent, and a real estate attorney in case you need a consultation, and most importantly an accountant with a lot of real estate  experience (this will be a major ally as you grow your business)Line up your team even before you look for the property.Go to networking events.

Fraudsters continue to run, lie, and hide assets.

In this case, after speaking with local real estate agents, a local appraiser, and a half dozen lenders, I think (hope) I'll get away with my err in judgement this time and procede as "by the book" as possible going forward.Regarding the insurance, everyone has stories about insurance companies trying to weasel out of their coverages.
