I have been reading books, buying real estate investing programs, and perusing real estate forums for the past year.

The only loan program that will entertain such a deal with a 500ish FICO is FHA (Fannie Mae won't touch it), but you will need at least 90 days title seasoning in order for this program to be considered.Regards,Scott Miller

I am sorry, I should have asked if any of you have a simple program that you use to input the numbers in to find out if the property is worth buying, ect..If you do, send me an email, or send a copy of the program attached to the email.

We use it for about 1 in every 5 marketing programs that we do...

If they do, they are guaranteed a "Quality Control" audit.

Almost political or close to the macro economics.Based on the recent posts the housing market is but a drop in the bucket of fiat money, monetary policy and the evils of governments in control of the economy.As RE investors how do people expect to make money even if they believe most of what has been said so far?

I have found a decent book that just deals with these types of properties and covers lots of specifics: Armchair Real Estate Millionaire.From a financing standpoint, there are programs that allow up to 90% financing for this type lease tenant arrangement.

The creditor can seize the stock and liquidate the corporate assets or simply take control of the company.

When will us stuborn men realize that when it all comes down to it we own it all but she controls everything.

If prices are depressed, offer less than your first thoughts on what to offer.Personally, I think that sometimes it is worth paying a few dollars more to control what is around my property.
