Cliff, Would you mind sharing the name of the loan officer you work with at Arvest?

This seems to be a disconnect - there are high income residences surrounding underutilized retail and office spaces.

I have contacted the licensing board 3 times as well as my local building code office, and each time I have been informed that you the owner, regardless of whether you are hiring a GC, MUST have a contractor's license. 

We have this saying in our office that if a property is on the market, then it is not a deal.

I am not a loan officer but I understand you can now finance up to 10 sfh - up to 4 units is still considered a sfh.  

Could I pull a @Brandon Turner and spend a year or two as a loan officer just so one of us has a W2 job?

This could be done with land, office, fractured condos, etc.

Hi Neil,I would consult an attorney, or at least read the NJ Landlord Tenant Law: http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/offices/land...My understanding of the laws in NJ is that you cannot remove a tenant, even if the lease is up, unless you have a valid reason.

He may be interested in the property location services as well since he is a licensed agent you will just have to chat with him to see.I have had good success with Randy Rhew as a Dallas agent and Jason Otts in the Dallas OneProp office for property management.  

The seller is a mortgage loan officer who was concerned that I was only putting 5% down on a conventional residential loan.
