@Bill Morris I tend to be a person of extremes, but I'm in the process of rehabbing!!!

They even had me sign something saying I have no financial interest in a property I sold over 14 years ago and am not on the title for, among other extremely detailed requests.

It seems extremely high for me and I would just love to know what the lender is doing - if they are taking me to the cleaners or if the closing costs are all pretty standard and I won't be able to find a better deal elsewhere.Also, if I SHOULD look elsewhere, how do I find a lender on my own?

I just remember the new Texas law was extremely bad for those holding contract for deeds.A situation came up where a seller used a contract to sell her house in December 2012.

Sounds like even trying to be extremely conservative I may still be overestimating the condo!  

Again BP is extremely informative. good luck to you!!

It is incredibly popular and unsecured)- Spend the $500 per deal to get full appraisals...publish thisIf you did the above and offered a 5 year portfolio rental product for 6%....it would be extremely popular for RE investors and be right up the ally for LC type money investors.

Every application we get is really weak and extremly risky.I agree with you, though about changing strategies given the state of things.

Investing out of state can be extremly challenging.

This latest one has me extremely interested but I do not know how to approach it.
