The best thing to do would be to build a relationship with a broker that deals with credit unions, banks and private lenders to explore the best options for your situation.

for me its usually depending upon the situation.......u kinda got to feel them out and see if theres an underlying issue at hand....but yea never more than 3 business days......but you can tell whos stalling. 

I see this situation all the time. 

It's the sub-par renovations, where the investors went into the situation like their S**T didn't stink is where you are seeing the price drops. 

This may be the wrong play but it’s what has caused a serious mental battle going on in my head.By way of situation, I’m 27, have $225k in liquid cash, and make $300k cash comp per year in a high finance role (~75 hours per week, so very little free time).

However, I decided to post hoping for some bp perspective (or additional criteria to consider) because I hate being in this situation.

Is it possible to get 80% LTV or more in this situation?

There is more safety in owning a property outright.You should study the benefits of both, apply them to your situation, and then determine which option is best for you.

That cost can be from $500-$2000 depending on how difficult the situation and if it goes beyond one appeal. 

So here is my situation, im currently in the military and I have a year left.
