Thanks for the replies.I may consider staging as one of my bankers has a staging business.I am flipping very low cost homes ($60K) I use the blinds mainly to keep people from looking in the windows.

Regarding her agreement with banker I would tell her to produce it in writing.

So to sum it up:Coming up I have a meeting with my banker (Wells Fargo) to discuss the HARP refinance and I intend to ask him what kind of pre-approved loan I could get, but I am worried it won't be enough to leverage 60k into enough cash flow to make it worth selling my other ventures.

We call the banker, tell him what you plan to offer, call the termite guy to crawl the space, and make the cash offer.

You're welcome, @Ian FisherI would make a list of all the local banks in your area and ask to speak with the loan officer/business banker of every single bank.

From their website, the CMLA represents over 80 of the leading independent mortgage bankers and lenders in the country, generating an annual volume of almost $100 billion in mortgage loans.

I mean I was begining to think what I was talking about was common knowledge turns out if I'm not speaking with one of you guys an IA, stockbroker, banker, or someone involved in the secondary mortgage market people don't have a clue.Anyway i just wanted to do some venting thanks for reading!

In a government for the bankers by the bankers, the will power of the people is misdirected by design.

Know the rents /prices and then talk to a banker. 150k you could (at least in KC) but a house cash and do delayed financing.

Hey Ricky,I'm not a banker.
