Each time I have asked they told me it was fine as long as I had the required inspections done.FYI - definitely need a permit if you want to build or structurally change a building, but I have not had an inspector yet that said anything about doing my own plumbing, light electrical, roof, window replacements, door replacements or drywall, although they do go around and check to make sure everything works, look for fernco's where plastic drain meets cast, and they definitely look for the inspection on the electric box. 

Yes, I know your under a deadline.Ocwen has, in my experience, the dubious reputation as the worst servicer in the U.S. and they are horribly difficult to work with.

Do you want to give up the profit you earned from your experience and reputation?

They also know bad hard money so working with a hard money lender who has a reputation for closing is important.

Wells is quickly gaining a crappy reputation these days for small investors.

I really am trying to help you but if you are not going to heed any advice then you will create a poor reputation for yourself on BP.Only other option is to rent it out.Just my two cents.Big Henry

I agree that if you do the deal, using a reputable escrow company would be the only way to do it, but do you really want to work with someone you clearly mistrust?

Bottom line: stop complaining that there are no deals vs. work your @$$ off to find good ones, as well as whining that you get a lot of ill-repute people trying to scam you (BTW, you can't be scammed if you're educated in the process), vs. work you @$$ off to build more positive business relationships- either way, it is important that one's arrogance (or ignorance, depending on your point of view) is considered for making money at the end of the day.... everyone's NOT for everyone, periodSomeone important in the forums made a good point that the industry as a whole suffers as the result of negative business practices; it also suffers from the lack of mentorship and community.To YOUR Success, Phillip L Lyde  

Then go to Kinkos or someplace similar and have them print and bind using a clear plastic cover with a black back page. 

I would find an experienced and reputable short sale investor in the area and offer to partner with her for the chance to help and learn.
