Sometimes you can find a way around buying that extra slab and save money.

permits required?

Examples include residential Alt-A programs that don't require income verification, loans available to Hispanic homebuyers with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) and programs that permit 100% financing.

Back then ('89) the conforming loan minimum was $30K so any loan for less was loaded up with extra points, junk fees etc, and it required 20% down.

I really feel I just pay for a extra long infomercial for the "advanced" coursed they offered.

(do you need permits for any of the work - call the town to ask GENERAL INFORMATION about permits and such).k, so 12k in repairs and let's say 12k in closing costs = 24,000now let's just saaaayy, you'll have a mortgage payment, and i'll just throw a number out there to save time and typing = 2500 month (includes PITI)and you plan WORST CASE SCENARIO OF HOLDING TIME - 6 MONTHS= 15,000you sell it with a realtor = 3% comm at 300k = 9,000add it up = 48000 total cost of project soup to nutsso, you buy for 239k + 48,000 = 287,000 sell for 300k...profit = 13kbasic but you get the point - try this: you probably shouldn't pay more than 180,000 for it.

I also tend to think the time frame they show is not realistic, especially considering on the Roach House they were "red tagged" for having no permits (they never show any permits so I have to imagine they have all the building permit inspectors looking for Montelongo refurbs) and then did the job in 3 days after getting the permt.

It is worth the extra money so you can get on the market sooner.
