Portfolio lenders may do 15 year loans or ARMs only.

When you use IRA funds for real estate investments, they must be arms length from you.

Many reputation management firms will charge you an arm and a leg for services that cost practically nothing and deliver subpar results.

Some of my borrowers working in cooperation with private/hard money lenders have lien'ed properties up to the max 70-75% LTV that can be refinanced so they can use that note and refinance out of the hard/private money to get in essence a "work around cash out," on properties number 5-10.Example, borrower who is subject to financed properties #5-10:- gets hard money lender to cash out to 70% of ARV (with relationship established they should only charge 1-2 pts for use of money for 1-2 months)- Fannie Mae take out loan 30 years fixed @4.5% to payoff hard money lenderThe reason you need to have a work around is that 5-10 you cannot cash out, only Purchase or "Rate/term," refinance (a refinance with no more than 2k cash back to borrower).Then again you could also go to portfolio/commercial lenders for 1-4 as well but these are usually 3,5,7,10 year fixed ARM loans or balloon loans with rates in the 4.75 -6.00% which is still great just gotta manage your reset risk dates accordingly.

Want me to twist Brandon's arm?

Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and all the cash buyers (rehabbers) you will need.To find out about an area go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers.

The Arms Length Affidavit only dealt with the short sale transaction itself, along with any then existing "side agreements".  

@Cierra Seay Being a fellow 27 year old, I feel the same way, but other's on the forum would probably give an arm to be in our shoes!

Another is the Digital Federal Credit Union (dcu.org).  

DOM would bother me more than a declining price unless the price decline is double digits month over month.I believe the declining price will impact flippers that are buying on the fringe.
