I initially learned to offer 70%of ARV - repairs for MAO and wholesale/assignment fee; however, I have traditionally operated at 65% - repairs, etc. since most HM lenders cap at 65% LTV.

Maybe a few wholesalers that will carry short term, but almost none of the traditional actual owner carry houses.

You can have 90% MLS access through the likes of Zillow, Redfin, etc without being licensed....that get's you pretty much Nationwide.MLS's have traditionally been very disparate geographically, competitively, economically and in any other adjective you can think of, they are, SLOWLY, coalescing in may areas.  

I financed with a traditional HEL. 7.

Personally, I'd rather use alternative funding sources instead of relying on traditional methods everytime.I'm starting to understand this.

I am afraid this may turn a bank off if they decide to research the lender listed on my proof of funds letter and learn it is not traditional financing.

Traditional marketing is dying!

I noticed our attorney's office used it once to stamp my membership certificate, but otherwise I heard the stamp's function is one of tradition rather than necessity.I still use it every now and then for official documents that my manager signs, such as business permits, leases, etc.

Traditional Fannie or Freddi will only go to 80% on a 2 unit.

I know I am a bit younger and the idea of owning gold bars/coins is a more traditional and old school safe haven or hedge.But, I contest, that when/if the preverbial "crap" hits the fan, a gold bar is not going to be worth much.
