I'm currently in the process of taking my first real steps to acquiring my first rehab as an investor!

Spoke to motivated seller and we agreed to 170000 at 1600 a month and I'm going to be assigning the deal so I'll be looking to make around 7k and step out of the deal.

So essentially I feel like this means step 1 instead of finding properties should be going to a lender and finding out what they can do for me, then go on to trying to find a property.3.

They were my Mortgage Company for Seven Years!

Now i just gotta get my buyers to step up, and step up finding more buyers.Got a core few buyers but I've stripped their capacity.Still, it's a thrill landing the deals.

The state budget has grown in each and every step of the state budget process each and every year that Brown has held office.

I am in the "teetering" point where I technically COULD be a full timer, but I am afraid to take the final step.

Second - If it is true, what steps should I start taking to increase my chances of getting financing when the time rolls around for my first purchase?

@Jay Hinrichs ,Yes, at Santa Clara County courthouse steps.

If one of my tenants asked for this, I would take the following steps:-Require they deposit money into an escrow account and sign something stating that granite counters are part of the apartment and tenant has no right to them when they leave-Require that you, the Landlord, handles the transaction and require that both you and the tenant agree on style of granite, including edge shapes, backsplash etc.
