This is my first rental- and I ended up getting in an easy fixer-upper that will have cash flow matching the 2% rule (monthly income is 2% of purchase price).

If you don't receive clear concise answers, you are probably in for a wrestling match or a situation where the banks don't respond in a timely manner if at all.

I would analyze his business model and match it up with yours as well as your goals to see if everything is compatible.

They said, and we'll see if their actions match their words, that they were going to place these tranches of properties to be securitized under heavy, heavy scrutiny.

And the next question will be about fractionalized, breaking down several notes to a yield to maturity, matching yields and risks and other aspects to a WAM and distribution......ooops, sorry WAM is weighted average maturity.But this all comes about in portfolio transactions and management, Dion, there probably aren't three people here on BP that are pricipals in bulk sales, been a long time since I did.

This is not particularly cheap to fix, and nearly impossible to match the existing boards especially in areas that receive a lot of sunlight.

I am only doing it to find rent to own homes that match what the buyer is looking for and split the profit once they close the deal on the leads I found for them.

Close color match but looks bad to the eye.

I believe that the pre-HUD stuff is only needed by the title company when a lender is involved so that the title company can ensure all the lender fees are included in the settlement statement and the loan amount matches up.Since you're paying cash, the title company will just do the HUDbased on purchase prices, their fees, etc and any property tax credits.Should be easy.

I do remember that from earlier days.. a good agent leads you to so many other good people... inspectors, contractors, lawyers, money, etc.Right now I'm making phone calls and emailing agents, fishing for a good match.
