That you state in your finder's fee contract with the owner that your sole function is Only introducing the buyer or investor to him/her.

Hi Brittane,Most rental programs will cap at 80% LTV, but with hard money usually it can go up to 90% of purchase price.

You only roll over the 2mm, take a 500k cash out and then claim the 500k sec 121 exemption.You can think of it like taking the 500k off the top, then the remainder functions as a normal 1031 exchange would.

Orchard is a bit more selective in the houses that they will accept for their program, with them usually choosing newer homes rather than older ones.5.

Bruce, there are many programs out there that will be able to write the entire portfolio. 

However when it comes to making word sets for my pre programmed messages I have noticed glitches several times.

We have done section 8 in a couple of markets and been happy with it, but the Tampa Housing Authority has been very hard to get a ahold of and I can't seem to figure out how to even enroll my homes in the program.

@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

We can teach them how to live in a house the right way and help them with the bumpy road of turning into a functioning member of society. 😆  That's right Dave, lots of good life lessons for everybody!

Are there programs to look into either state wide (NJ) or nationally that will help with down payment assistance or a construction loan?
