The Purchaser will be entitled to a refund of earnest money only if the Purchaser obtains an independent lead-based paint inspection or risk assessment performed by a Certified Lead-Based Paint Inspector or Risk Assessor, and the Purchaser provides HUD with a copy of the inspection report.This seems to me like if we got this LBP inspection done and there is LBP in the home, we can at least walk and get our $1k earnest money deposit back.  

You spend money to increase the value of your investment, not to obtain a tax deduction.

I was reading Brandon T.

Purchased a triplex 2 years ago and obtained a 4.75% 30 yr. fixed.

If you don;t have it, you should be bringing in a partner who does without your lender prompting you.Remember, it's better to give a part of a deal than to lose the deal altogether.Good luck!

I want to obtain my NMLS license in New York (where I live) because I would like to transition from working in retail to getting into the banking industry and working as a mortgage loan officer/originator.I found a program on YouTube but they charge $380.
