There are real estate programs at schools like University of Pennsylvania, NYU and University of Michigan has an urban planning program in their Ross School of Business.

Stick to your guns and offer what you want to offer.Finding a great realtor or mortgage broker or lawyer is kind of like dating...sometimes you have to go through a lot of rocks to find a diamond.A good Realtor will communicate with you, provide you with information and insight and present whatever offer you feel is best for you.I wouldn't go too harshly on them for showing you homes that may not fit exactly what you are looking for.

The information you are requesting can be found in our educational program, "investing out of state or your own backyard" which also includes forms and checklists which are derived from years of experience, mistakes, education, etc.The forms & checklists CD is the one we often give out at Rosie's events as well as other RE events.

So one size doesn't fit all and a really good contract only fits the specific deal it was built for.

I have received several e-mails as of late regarding programs that will helo build business credit within just a few weeks.

I'm just putting it out there for anyone to comment on in whatever way they see fit because I'm so new to real estate.

But, government and social programs are not the answer.

While it can be tough to secure financing due to market conditions there IS money out there.I would suggest looking into the HUD 223(f) program for multi-family loans as the terms are fantastic.

As for tradition credit programs, you will need on the average, a 580 mid score.....24 months seasoning on the BK and 36 months seasoning on the FC.

I currently am looking for that property that can fit the 50% rule that is so loved on this site.
