LOL.. those are legal docs that need to be done correctly and some of those guys have nice groups all put together with a cadre of investors ready to rock and roll.

@Riley Blake You should get pre-approved first  so you can bid on the property. 

I've been searching for just about 2 years, the closest we've come to getting one was a bidding war on a duplex near Duke (we lost - by a lot).This would be our first home and I'm wondering if any of the folks at BP have some suggestions for us? 

I bid on HUD home and the offer was accepted I am scheduled to have an inspector come out this Thursday but I just received and email that we can’t turn on the water.

If done correctly you'll never have to worry about it, just make sure all the penetrations are flashed appropriately so you don't have leaks seeping in.

Hi Whitney, Welcome to BP, you are correct that is my goal as well (quite my job that I have a higher ed degree to do).

If you are looking for appreciation and monthly income try again in a couple of years after we have a small correction.

With a value over a $1MM you should be able to get agency debt and @Greg Downey is correct that they can lend up to 80%.

I’m new so I’m not sure if these numbers are correct but I’ve done generally searches on multiple sites and 55k is about where they all land.

I am dealing with a specific tax issue: I need to find someone trustworthy who can perform a tax correction for my parents.
