Just make sure your screening criteria is super strict during these hard times.

I have not had any problems to fund my investment, although they are very strict and every document has to be right.  

I would make sure you include a physical deterrent that is designed with routine condenser maintenance in mind like an AC-Guard.

He said they routinely higher local experts to help hold the hands of their GC’s and subs to help routinely many matters.

You wont find any better terms than Fannie, which is why they hold the guidelines pretty strict.

FHA is pretty strict about the price and condition of the building.

When buying a vacant property it is best to assume you will be paying 1-2 months of the mortgage if a rehab is involved (potentially longer depending on the scope of work).Having the 4 bedroom delead (lead paint abatement) earlier would've made renting out the property easier as MA has very strict lead paint laws and 90% of applicants were families with children under 6People do not take care of their properties Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

In terms of insurance- yes, Florida policies are higher and they are very strict right now due to the last storm season.
