When flipping houses in short time periods do you believe it is better to contract the services (i.e. painting, landscaping, and minor improvements on the scenario that the house was only needing minor cosmetic improvement and you were able to get it at an undervalued price) to get the job done quicker and more professionally so as to have it back on the market quicker which in turn will shorten the months in which you will pay the mortgage payments on the house, or is it better or equal to do the actual jobs yourself?

Hard money and seller financing are two options for those that are credit impaired.Now obviously improving your credit should be an extremely high priority, because money gets a whole lot cheaper when you have good credit, good assets, and a good track record, but I wouldn't let bad credit stop you.I personally am the type of person to figure out what I want to do, and then figure out the way to do it.

i'm all for people reaching their goals.and yes, 17k is a good amount of money...and i'd hate to see someone attempt to buy property in or near NYC, with only 17k in the bank and watch it all go right out the window.to me, you've got to move where the market is improving and where it is affordable.surely NYC and long island is not the ideal place to START.now if your 17k was 170k - then we're talking.

Your scores will start to improve as your realign your debt---once your current debt to available credit ratio is between 30-35%, you will start to see improvements in your FICO?

Infrastructure Trend: The one consistent improvement I see everytime I visit (and I do mean everytime) is that there is always a casino being built/remodeled (I imagine that this is a perpetual event)---this isn't infrastructure in my opinion.
