I cant begin to explain how keen folks are to have this type of info

I have always liked the idea of rehabbing and/or developing from scratch :) But I will leave that headache for another day :)So far I have thoroughly researched Charlotte, NC, and am keen to find some properties there; I have also looked at Austin and Houston, TX, and like the look of that market too.My big task at the moment is building a buyers list :)... fun and games!

I think the major hold up you will face is Agents these days aren't too keen on flipping investors :D I think the bigger problem you face is having a lender approve an option contract.

Those really need to go.Painting and replacing knobs many buyers these days are keen on that trick and it's been used up.Also looking underneath the foundation it looked like one of the columns needed shoring up and the brickwork was deteriorating and would need some repair as well.I would totally redo the tubs and the kitchen.Kitchen and Baths sell a home and you don't want to give a retail buyer a negative as to why NOT to buy it.

I think $100k houses are quite affordable even for the retail store workers.I'm quite keen to get into the flipping business because that is what I want to do compare to rental and wholesaling.

Thanks for getting back to me- Yeah, I'm not keen on 2pts but considering he will give 80%ltv non-fannie mae/freddie mac vs the 75% and use an in-house appraiser to pretty much assure me of the amount, I think iit may be decent.He also offered 4.5% on a 15yr w 2 pts but the monthly payment would be spreading me a bit thin, hence the 30yr.I guess what I need to know is, do the other charges look appropriate?

We'll do ok, we just can't give up and keep a keen eye on what the vets have to say.

Even if they agree to a short sale, it doesn't mean that they will be keen on getting together the seemingly invasive records that will be required as part of the short sale package.I think a lot of the time they are just as embarrassed by the prospect of a short as they are of a foreclosure.

He focuses more on CA than he does the nation but he mixes in some good humor with keen analysis.

You will become very keen on the price for all repairs.
