I had a house where it was taking so long (9mos) I just sold the place to get out from under the small loan.

I'm terrified of doing all this research, finding a "dream" property, only for it to fail and negative cash flow. 

I hope apartments.com takes a note or two during the merger process.

VA loans are the only loans that allow this, and there is no rate penalty for it no longer being your primary home.With that in mind, you could do a cash out refinance today at a higher rate than current market rates which will create profit on the loan, we can take that profit to pay for your closing costs.

Hi, thanks all for your advice.I was feeling bad to directly go for an eviction without a notice, but based on your comment and the fact that is not a charity.

If they can and are willing to provide ACCEPTABLE proof of their hardship, we may give then a few extra days (not weeks) at a step in the process.There is some merit to Jeff's claim that he is doing the work of 5 people - but, it won't take 90 days to go through everything.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

The expensive one MAYBE 7-12, 14 if you take extra good care of of it. 

At least not that I know of in all SoCal cities.

What steps do I need to take to make sure I can get this going as smoothly as possible especially when it comes to resale in the future?
