Heck with Capital One it took me 70 phone calls over 3 weeks to get into the right department to get their list of assets...We do buy a lot from hedge funds but our business is about 50% banks and 50% hedge funds...

The Department of Housing and Urban Development warned last week that landlords who refuse to rent to anyone with a criminal record are in violation of the Fair Housing Act and can be prosecuted and fined for racial discrimination.In a 10-page “guidance” issued on April 4, the federal agency announced that any landlord with a blanket policy of not renting to people with a criminal conviction is effectively discriminating on the basis of race or national origin.

In Chicago, who is liable for damage when the fire department comes to the unit and kicks in the door for a wellness check due to a false alarm and no one is home to answer the door?

As a veteran, we will let you get to 2-3 without ever putting up more than 0% or 3.5% down.VA/FHA loans are owner occupant only, so you'd have to be a nomad and move into the properties you are buying (converting the departing residence into a rental each time) using a combo of FHA/VA financing, or come up with a substantive down payment.Once you have documented landlord experience, you can use a VA loan to buy a multi-unit property and use rents to offset PITI.
