It is not hard if you are prepared.

Everything I have seen since 2008 is just a scam.This company is out there actively promoting its program to 100% financing, no money down to poor fools that are trying to get in the real estate game and have less than $1,000 to do a deal.

I had not read about the 203k program.

If anything the program has reinvigorated me to get back into the game.

About 15 mutual funds.2) Given the current state of the economy, I want to prepare myself for the possibility of hyperinflation and devaluation of the US Dollar.

I'm about to refinance my investment property under the HARP program and was wondering if I should go with a 15 or 20 year fixed.

Eric,If you would read my post, you would see I fully support the Habitat program.

So, using your approach, to create a target list either:1) match obits to owners and contact the relatives, or2) research court records of open estates containing real estateYour marketing will be more effective if you create your USP's around specific problems that you are willing and prepared to resolve, in return for a trade off Blythe estate PR.

First get qualified for financing, then shop for deals ;-)If you do FHA you may be able to find one eligible for 203k program giving extra cash in the loan for rehab.

So, if you want to avoid losing the property, you should prepare to eventually refinance it.From some of those discussions, plus ones I've had locally with people doing these transactions, the most common way the lender finds out is the insurance.
