I was definitely hoping for a short cut, but it is what it is!

And if they are doing unpermitted work, they may cut corners, since it won't get inspected, and do you know what to look for to make sure all is well?

Any suggestions on how to get the old 40k IRA available to use as a down payment into real estate?

Outsource the real estate part of it because mastering real estate will take you just as long as it took you to master the stock market and then you might lose your edge in the stock market.

I always got the payment but often late.

Home features, location, down payment and interest terms, amortization and balloon terms?

Should we sell, we would be starting all over again with some good experience and cash in hand for another down payment or cash purchase in another market.

Where I live in Florida, payment is due the next day... in cash or certified funds.  

Many of the people here on BP unfortunately do not understand how to evaluate risk - because if they did they would not be doing a lot of these creative finance deals we are seeing that include having to borrow for the down payment because they have zero liquidity.

Good afternoon everyone, I am looking to purchase non-conforming multifamily in the Essex County, NJ with a 5% owner-occupied down payment.
