One of my loans was taken over servicing by Shellpoint.

Looking to speak with someone who has personally been involved with a deal where the buyer assumed the loan. 

Ive read books and listened to podcast but cant seem to find the strength to take that first step.If anyone has been in a similar situation, I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences and how you overcame the fear and uncertainty to take that first leap into real estate.

All it takes is one inspector to be perticular about the measurement, and it could cost you your entire basement, or add the cost of trying to lower the slab After you completed your remodel, which means a lot of rework...One additional bit of information related to the City of Chicago Building code which I hope will help someone in a tight situation down the road.

Afterwards, the plan is to utilize my VA home loan to buy a multi-family property.

I don't think there's a reliable way to come up with an exact dollar amount that everyone can just plug into their situation and be 100% safe. 

Back in 2007 I took out a loan with CIT that was backed by the SBA.

Explain your situation. 

Also are the properties turn key at that price or would it be a BRRR type situation where you can use hard money then refi out? 

My question is how to structure the loan.
