When we offer more than one exit strategy to the seller, we become more consultative, less adversarial.  

I consulted the forums here and found a lot of investors are not comfortable with credit financing.

The best part is this: a consultation with a mortgage pro is FREE.  

I strongly suggest you consult a local landlord friendly attorney for a consultation - it could save you a lot of headaches and $$,   You have to consider not only state laws, but local ordinances.As noted before, the EBRHA is also a good source of information.They have an event coming up Nov 12 where you could drop in and see if this would help you. 

They have processing fee, supplemental origination fee, underwriting fee, consultant fee, administration fee.I'm seeing 3k in fees.

I am setting up meetings with a few different FHA Consultants to discuss pre-approval for an FHA 203(k) streamline.

It is not extremely hard but if you do it the first time you need QuickBooks consultant.

just trying to become part of a system and program where like minded people share ideas and insight in the real estate market. 

I consult with my CPA often and I suggest to real estate investors all the time to get a CPA.

I'm a large operator in NJ, and your first consultation is free.I think you should explore home first before branching out.
