Might be worth your while to have a chat with a RE lawyer and find out the exact process in your area.

His Website, Fortunebuilders.com, lists a 5 day program for $3,497 and a 4 day rehabbing bootcamp for $2,497.

It's not a new program; it's the same ol' FHA 203(k) rehab loan that's been around for a long time.

Is there any program online you would recommend for this?

Can you start working on putting it together and programing the code for it?

I just talked to a mortgage rep in Illinois about their refi program and he told me he can do 80% LTV appraised value with no seasonings.

I had heard from a local radio program something about taking out a mortgage on the home b/c you cannot be taxed on loans.

Go to the city planning department (or whatever its called) and have a chat.

I discovered property investing toward the end of my degree program and realize that it was a huge waste of money.

When a prospective tenant calls you can chat for a few minutes to determine if it is a good fit for you and them.Once you describe the property, the rent & deposit requirements and any qualifications that need to be met (credit, pets, lease term) be sure and ask if all this meets their needs (and yours).If yes, absolutely give them the full address so they can drive by or go ahead and schedule an appointment to show it.If they say it doesn't meet their needs then no need for them to have the address.Be sure you have their phone number and call to confirm before you head out.I have had success with Craigs List, sign drive bys, newspaper, MLS.Communication is the key!
