James, finding the water leak isn't the issue, catching it early is the issue.

There are other residential in the neighborhood so zoning i don't think would be an issue. 

Cooperating with the original lender and having them sell the loan to a new lender won't cure the issue of occupancy or the overall intent to defraud. 

Hi all,Looking for some support here... Trying to find a source or maybe even a real estate attorney who can provide me contracts that I can use to provide for owners when wholesaling in long island, NY. It would mean...

Out of state landlords still self-manage their properties as much as they like as this agent is really just there so that the municipality feels like they can reach a real local person when there is an issue.

I would first confirm that your HOA allows rentals, specifically the terms that they allow, or any other rental restrictions that may need to be followed.

PaulBecause it also seems like an accessible entry point.How long should I stick it out to find property in a specific area, before moving on to the next?

To address this, we agreed that I would work in the business for six months to verify the financials, which so far align with his POS system.My main issue is that at 23, I don't have strong financials to get a conventional loan at 75% LTV with a ~7% rate, and the seller's lack of financials complicates bank approval.

A HELOC is powerful tool that should be used in specific situations.

I am interested in investing in real estate in the DFW area (specifically Denton) with creative financing methods, and I am trying to expand my network of players in the game of real estate.If anyone on here is experienced and willing to share information about getting into this game, connect with me to set up a call so I can ask you questions, and/or collaborate on a deal, as I would love to gain hands-on knowledge and experience as quickly as possible, as well as cultivate trust and relationships that lead to more business and deals in the future.Thank you!
