Was the process of acquiring the property a bad experience or has it been bad since you have bought it? 

We have been using traditional financing thus far but I fear that we are close to our limit on acquiring properties through traditional financing.

So, I've been looking at the site more for additional tips, tricks and anything I can learn. 

The next property I used the credit on was also shut down because of other requirements that "pop up" unexpectedly in order for them not to lend.I have asked several times for a refund of my money and all they have offered was an additional year's subscription.

Additionally, you may have to give a right of first refusal to the evicted tenant(s) to move back in if the re-rental is done within two years.  

Please talk to a local CPA.In addition regarding the 2nd question if you can re-sale the tax deed certificate. 

My bank is offering to use my rental property which I acquired last year as collateral to lower the down payment from 20 to 10 percent.

It would just be outside pictures as I will mostly use this as research for an additional source in deciding whether to buy a property or not. 

As you can see, a total gut and 1000sf addition won out.

I am glad to have a forum to discuss scenarios and ideas in addition to networking.
