Am closing on an REO from BofA next week and in contract on another property that is a short sale own by BofA.My question is do you know if BofA have any rules or limit to the number of properties one can purchase from them within a giving time and the reason am asking is because they are the only bank that ask for social security number when you make offers.

Both are residentual lots within the city limits, and I've had a Realtor CMA on both

The house is set back from the road by about 50ft, speed limit of the road is 25 so I was concerned about noise a bit. 4BR, 1.5BAWalk out basementI'm looking at renting long term but living in it short term and subletting a room.

No critical issues or permits needed.

May be limited to 15-20 year notes vs. 30 for conventional.Hard money then refi.

I'd like it to be reasonably close (I'll be living in Marin county).Considering my limited capital, I'll need to start in lower end areas, at least by Bay Area standards, but I'd rather not have to bring an armed escort.Some options I'm considering are:OaklandVallejoSanta RosaNapa/SonomaVallejo in particular looks interesting.

My limited experience is roughly $1,000 per entity.

These trusts are designed to house real estate within a grantor trust and provide limited access to grantor or beneficiary information contained in the trust instrument or known to the trustee.

Based on you picture I would pass on that property.Stucco can have problems up front along with the brick veneer.Do not like all the stairs and double ups.Seniors will have a hard time renting and families do not like carrying items up and down all those stairs.That leads to tenant turnover and limited starting renter pool.The parking lot is thrashed.I also do not like the slope of that parking lot.Makes it very hard to pull in and out of there for traffic and makes it hard to get in and out of the car.To overcome all of those things a tenant will have to pay a way below market rent rate to deal with the inconvenience.Is washer and dryer in the units??

Can anyone offer some advise on how I could possibly delegate some of the grunt work or how I can make the best use out of my limited time.
