Bank Loan: It’s true that banks typically look for steady income, but a large down payment (20-30%) and good credit could help strengthen your application.

For the bankruptcy properties, we contacted the trustee phone numbers on the website, however, they usually just replied to ask us to look for debtor's attorney.For short-sales, we searched the listing on zillow.com, but majority of them are off market.We used BP recommended realtor and asked if they can help with the properties we targeted, the realtor searched for a week of the foreclosure ones and get back to me that she believes she will not be the right partner.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there,Considering a duplex as your primary home and renting out the other unit is a great idea, but you need to understand how interest rates work in this scenario.When you buy a duplex and plan to live in one unit, you can still qualify for a residential mortgage, which typically has better interest rates compared to commercial loans.

This is classica analysis paralysis fodder.

I'll give you a call Tuesday or Wednesday this week.

Let me know if you would like me to refer you to your CORE 4 and help you get started

Each state can be a little different so the details matter. https://www.omglawfirm.com/arkansas-probate-intestate-succes...Here is the pertinent excerpt:If you don’t have a Will, the default order of descent goes like this: (1) full blood and adopted children of the decedent, subject to any dower, curtesy, and homestead interest of a spouse; (2) if no full blood or adopted children, then everything to a spouse of greater than three years or half of everything plus dower, curtesy, and homestead to a spouse of less than three years and the other half of everything to other heirs (per this table); (3) to the decedent’s parents or surviving siblings; (4) to the decedent’s grandparents or surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.; (5) to the decedent’s great-grandparents or surviving great aunts, great uncles, etc.; (6) if none of those intermediate descendents are alive the remaining half can go to the spouse of less than three years or to a predeceased spouse’s heirs; (7) finally, if none of these apply, all the property escheats to the county where the decedent died.

You an use this if you are either looking to invest passively, or, if you are raising capital, refer back to it, and focus on these three pillars:The biggest mistake I see passive investors make is they focus on the deal, what's my return, when in reality, that is the last pillar they need to focus on.

I am also a licensed realtor, but only use it for investing purposes.I am very Jubilant to have joined this vast network!!!
