I'm finding stuff regularly off-market.

Martin and @Ryder Meehan have meetups in SF regularly.

We regularly accept applications before the home is rehabbed.  

We are looking to sell a note an our regular attorney is not able to draft the paperwork for us.Thanks,Bob

HI Chris,Yeah the option would be to utilize a 203k FHA loan or a Fannie Mae Homestyle renovation loan the only down side is that the FHA 203k similar to a regular FHA loan has self sufficiency requirements on 3-4 unit properties so if you're in a area where rents are high relative to price then you could be good otherwise you might not be able to meet the rule and use 203k to finish off your repairs to the unit.The other downside is if you used home style reno loan is that you'll need 25% of loan to cost as a down payment (acquisition price + rehab).With the Home possible program the units have to atleast be habitable shape.

Track all of the expenses and income on your projects in report form that you can view regularly with other people you trust to help reducing your expenses and increase your income.  

if you are going to do just a regular FHA loan and you have good credit i would go to wells fargo they have some pretty good deals. 

Anita Gee I'm sure this happens on a regular basis, so don't feel bad.

I could get miitary friends to check on the property regularly but they couldn't be there for long stretches.

I know the market is hot there but I have not had any bidding wars.. most stuff I sell before completion but offers come in a little under list routinely and we counter to list or higher if they want concessions... ( this of course is new construction infil in the 450 to 650k range there in Charleston)
