I have saved up a decent amount where I can now put a down payment on a home.

There's a big difference in the order of payout in the event of a claim.If the buyer defaults on the payments or any other stipulations of the note, you will need to hire an attorney to foreclose and get the property back.

It would be easier to find low down payments on a fix and flip loans than once the work is done refi that property.

Drawer was rotten and had to be cut out. 3. kitchen sink - there was a leak they never reported. 

From June until November I haven't received one payment, my court date was set on the Monday of Thanksgiving which the clerk couldn't give issue the court order document because she was swarmed with all the cases that week, the following week I received the court order and the writ.
