I love to travel and have traveled extensively around the world - I've been to four continents and countless countries, I've climbed waterfalls (yes, that means going up against the water), kayaked with whales, and successfully avoided a police search party in Colombia (what happens in Colombia, stays in Colombia). 

I just went into the office of the realtor on the seller's side and we had a good discussion.

The loan officer at the bank has looked into every avenue he can think of but we are stuck for 60 days until we can get two full monthly statements with my wife's name on it. 

or 3. have to go down to the tax office to make an offer?

I have zero investing experience.Background...After speaking with a loan officer she suggested an agent that has worked with investors.  

I would suggest talking to a loan officer at your local bank to see what FHA product you may be able to qualify for. 

Is there a good community on this site of investors that do office, retail & industrial investments? 

Unless I get a police report for a noise complaint no one was in violation of their lease and there was nothing I was going to do. 

Hi Evan,My office has a lot of Fannie Mae listings and I'm familiar with the contracts.

The transaction was done at an attorney's office and processed through a title company, it did not involve lenders or realtors.
