Also, if I buy a rehab with cash, but I will need financing for the rehab/repair aspect, how does that process work? 

If we're going to be internally consistent, IMO the playing field has got to be leveled.To do that, you have two choices.If you hard cap everything at 43% (and can no longer sell your home to that FHA buyer utterly maxing themselves out at 56.4% DTI), I can point to some dozens of millions, or hundreds of millions, of American voter homeowners ("homevoters") who will not like the impact this has on their home values, unfortunately.

We share a calendar that is updated consistently and we both make sure to prioritize time together. 

And... be consistent. 

If they are not interest now follow up with them consistently.

Yes, they are next to each other but if you had a deep knowledge about Memphis, you would know that these two areas are completely different and my feelings on them are completely different and if there is one thing that I am with my business, its consistent.

There are two main aspects when dealing with a borrower and protecting your funds.

Financing changes if owned through a LLC so be sure to investigate that aspect as well.
