Fitting a foundation under a house is much harder than building a house on a foundation.

Something about the sigma fits my hand better too.

Can you qualify for a low down payment program?

So the more people you can legally fit in a house the more rent you can charge, and the rent usually goes up around 3-5% a year.I am currently looking for a rental, have found some that should cash flow but I am holding off to find better deals in this market.That article from the WSJ also had some good advice... schools with rising attendance, in big cities and who don't guarantee housing to all students is a big one.

(These programs are meant for investor.)

ThanksWe'd like to throw our hat in the ring as we directly deal with these programs in bulk.

In my brief time as a loan officer for a mortgage company, we usually wanted to see 2 years at a job, or at least 2 years in the same field.There used to be loan programs that would get around having to say what kind of job you have, but ever since the market has been going down guidelines have changed and its probably been about 6 months to a year since I have seen one work.

Is it possible for a first-time home-buyer such as myself to assimilate all of the information from books/Internet research/television programs, maybe some phone calls from a realtor relative, but not go with a real estate agent?

If anyone has a program that will get through (with a lender that isn't afraid to appraise correctly), please let me know, as I plan on buying a lot more houses in the KC (and Birmingham, AL) areas.Thanks.

I'm looking carefully, but nothing right now fitting our bill.The market is actually better than most media outlets would like you to believe, because that is good news, and well, good news doesnt sell.
