This will help you judge how soon your contractors can start rehabbing it, which in turn impacts how soon you will be completing final repairs, listing or renting it out, and closing on a sale or executing a lease.

Feels good to finally release not so much stress but worries.

Being self-employed and only three years of credit history makes it really hard to qualify for a mortgage.  2019 is finally going to be the year that I can afford one... because my last two years of tax returns show I've made enough money to get approved for a mortgage. 

I had a client at the state department, that we had difficulty doing a final employment verification on.

I have finally wised up and want to stop working and start in real estate.

Since competition is always fierce in DC, I bid an additional surplus of $63,000 on the lien to win the final bid.

I thought this might be an opportunity for me to go from 0-2 rental properties in one acquisition. 

The fourth time was finally successful, after having dealt with them for nearly 4 months, all the while our payments were racking up and our financial situation was severely strained.

Always get a W9 from whomever you hire• Make sure you have them sign lien waivers before you give final payment• Check your city's court documents(public info and usually online) to ensure they don't have any judgements against them• Do not pay 50% up front.

If you want to get all of your money out, you need to spend no more than 75% of the final ARV.
