I didn`t bother to try and bomb the property(as soon as I saw it, I wrote it off as a viable residence) In general, upstate SC is beautiful, and both the climate and economy are superior to much of the rest of the country - there is a lot to like about the area; jobs galore and the perfect "sweet spot" of nearly ideal climate and low taxes/cost of living, coupled with a booming economy and (still-rising) housing market, so I don`t sweat this crappy/demolition-ready mobile Anyway....I`m back off to NY tomorrow morning, so this whole thing has been a learning experience for me :groovy: , and I just wanted to share :wink: RE investing,....it`s not just a job, it`s an adventure :lol:

It has also been used to hearken back to the Roman republic, particularly by those who see themselves as modern-day successors to the old republic and/or its ideals.

Thanks clifton - now the question is am i dealing with BOA and equator bs or Mellon?

I thought I'd put this question out there and of course in an ideal situation we'd like both, but in the current mostly rising market we sometimes have no choice but to choose one or the d'other.

I don't have 20K to put down.It would be ideal to get a hard money loan with my personal home as collateral and have the hard money guy that I know be a part of the deal somehow. 

I'm looking to purchase in Worcester, MA... and ideally I would like to put a small down payment on, say, $250,000 (Triplex - Owner Occupied). 

If I find a motivated seller say from an advertisement that wants to sell their home because they missed tax payments and mortgage payments...Do I include that the buyer of the property will be covering these costs in...

I would ideally like to find something north of the city as it would be easier to manage logistically for me, but I am open to location.

I have a list of lenders to research, including B2R, Jordan Capital and Lima Finance.How many properties do you have and what would be your ideal loan?

Ideally this would be a 2-4 unit multi-family, but if the right single family comes along we'll jump on it.
