Hello fellow investor,Thank you for your interest in learning more about our company and how we secure funding for our clients.

I'm in a team who does these deals and we have a team of "door knockers" who go back weekly till the auction, they file bankruptcy which only delays 3+/- months 100% chance that the lender will as that their mortgage is removed from the bankruptcy they file NOD yet again.   

If you could see that the population growth was increasing, then you could invest with some security. 

HUD 4000.1 (I believe) is the latest HUD handbook and it goes over all requirements for originating the loan, including but not limited to occupancy requirements and exemptions.FHA occupancy : "At least one Borrower must occupy the Property within 60 Days of signing the security instrument and intend to continue occupancy for at least one year."

However, there are ways to leverage SBA loans so they can buy a new primary and then look at their current property as an investment property and secure a DSCR loan to redevelop and rebuild.

The guy has already stated that he doesn't live there so that alone proves that he knows that was never the intended use (is their a police report or statement for your file?).

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price. 

The tenant pays a monthly premium and keeps an active bank account and credit card on file.

As I’m saving up for my first investment, I would like to learn more about the industry - and it would be nice to earn some income while doing so.Are there any specific skills or knowledge I need to secure a VA side gig?
