I financed my third SFRH this fall and the bank said that they would only consider a commercial loan because of the intent to buy as an investment property.

Just because you have an LLC doesn't mean that you can't be held legally responsible if someone slips and falls on your property.

Obviously subsequent loans would not be cash out as no equity would be established in a short period.I refinanced one borrower three times in back to back closings under the same wholesale mortgage banker as interest rates were falling and paid the differences in settlement fees for the borrower!

I know that almost inevitably they are going to need to be relined or rebuilt, and that it'll cost many thousands of dollars, turning a possible rehab into a pass.However, looking at a house where everything else seems to fall into place, I wonder if anyone's had success with alternate, though less long-lasting, repairs.

Others on BP have used the term "nickel-and-diming" and I didn't want to fall victim.But thank you again Joe for the insight.

I realize that that was a silly habit and I will not fall back into that behavior.

Normally doors don't just fall off, but if it's somehow secured by caulk/silicone, it easily could have just picked the middle of the night to fall off.Would love to see a photo if you do go check it out (or even a photo if you have one before the tenant moved in) to see what kind of shower door we're dealing with here

Hi Eric, thank you.I own a mobile home and am pretty sure I have a buyer lined up for next fall.

Do not fall into the trap when disputing with agencies.

I have been reading ALOT on real estate investing ( I just finished the free beginners guide from Bigger Pockets) and actually stumble across this page when I was looking on reviews for the guru Phil Pustevojsky (no I haven't fall into any of these expensive guru traps).I have always wanted to invest in real estate but thought that I needed alot of money to start so I tried doing two different MLM business but that didn't work out so well.
