Let me know how things are in AC, I really considered it an interesting real estate position a few years ago but now am less certain as the NJ state government prepares to take ownership of the current situation. 

After dealing with the clerks and automatons of city government, it's easy to become conditioned into thinking that everything must be conducted through the bureaucratic process.  

I'll also look into the mentor program.

That being said, I always put them through my entire process, credit/background check through my program (don't trust others, too easy to fake with photoshop etc), 3 x rent, license, and than my 18 page lease .

There are a lot of NOO programs out there for REFI

Best of luck with your program.

Re Casa Finance is out of Columbus and has a solid program. 

It sounds like you may be hiding something, I would recommend you dont initiate this process as they will likely look into every aspect of your financial life for any discrepancy.Any transaction over 10k is subject to government investigation and will be flagged.

I met a retiree who told me she spent $55,000 on his program and it had been a year and she hadn't received her first deal.  

If I'm doing a lease option or lease purchase, I connect them with my credit repair program.
