Plan to move towards pet rent and limit to two total pets in future but I'd be happy getting her to two dogs first.

Do they have a $$ limit when they have to contact you to get approval?

Some allow you unfettered ability to advertise (so long as its truthful), some allow you limited ability to advertise certain things (like your business generally but not an offering), etc.

I've NEVER heard of this for house flips...I get that there are limitations to how many mortgages you can hold, and sometimes loans need to be seasoned, etc...so I'm aware of those limitations. 

In my limited reading, it is my understanding that you do not and may not be able to finance land.

If you do, then you can choose whatever you like the best.If you don't have a C wire, then your choices are very limited. 

Obviously market value is still a bit subjective, especially with limited data so I don't want to get too hung up on that portion of the deal.

Your value will be limited by the comps available even if they are all dated.

You'll never be without work, and those skills aren't limited to just REI.Where in SE Texas are you at, if you don't mind me asking?

Up until the actual foreclosure auction sale, it is like any other sale......you and the owner have to agree on a price, get it under contract, go to closing, buy it.....you’re just on a limited time schedule when it is in foreclosure.No one is necessarily going to sell to you for just what is owed, when they have a lot of equity.
