Hello all is anyone familiar with H.A.N.D.S (Housing and Neighborhood Development services) It's a Orange county down payment assistance program (Florida) but I'm not sure how many or if many lenders deal with this type of program and was wondering if anyone have a bit more information on this Also I'm trying to buy a house and I'm  ready as far as credit (FICO) score it's 739 also this would be my frist house and want to stay around 150K range.  

I have a few homes there as well.Stay away from the East side of Bakersfield, only invest in the West as it's much more developed and the demographics are much better.

We had one unit that developed mold because of a pretty much invisible roof leak.

I'm not in a position to do this yet as I have not developed any sort of network yet but I WILL be able to one day and I simply love this idea it sounds like there is no way to lose.

Hi Reul, congratulations on getting the property under contract, now the hard work begins :)We have 2 new constructions close to completion in Jersey City and have worked with our General Contractor - ALM Developers.

I'll share with the developers. 

Lots of condo unIts and townhome development.

It is "the yellow book" covering all the basic rental practices and even imparts the unique landlord sense of humor you will develop over time  (via the funny cartoons).

Have to get land real cheap to make the numbers work for new development.

I am not hopefull, so I will start calling subcontractors by next week in my second project.On my third project I will need a developer because my husband and I will be building a brand new home.
