I saw a great write up about BP on another blog that was discussing RE programs you have to pay for in Houston, ie, Lifestyles Unlimited.

I don't have the site visit approval for an all-in-one credit/eviction check, which was what led me to smartmove.Can you elaborate on why you don't share the criteria?

She then said for us, she would do a short sale submitting only our offer to the bank but we needed to get approved through her lender, not our own.

Being forward, this is my first post on Biggerpockets, and yes, I do work for Meridian, as our Key Accounts Manager.Biggerpockets has become a fantastic forum for investors, vendors and turnkey operators, so I thought I could use this stream to help clarify some of the concerns mentioned about programs like ours.For some context, I actually came to Meridian as an internet lead turned investor over 4 years ago and liked their business model so much, I came to work for them.The program we offer is actually a Rental Warranty, not a guarantee, which is a big difference.

Some college campuses have those services in-house and some Cities also have that as part of their housing programs.

Have any Milwaukee BP'ers had experience with the loan program offered for landlords by the city under the Targeted Neighborhood Investment Program (TIN)?

There are 3 plans:http://www.allisonjamesinc.com/our-programs/P154

Btw, a purchase and sale agreement (not a lease option) that provides for delivery of a deed in less than six months is not classified as an executor contract under existing Texas law or the new law.2) Rent credits should be not used after Jan 10 2014 due to Dodd Frank.3) Buyer gets the deed when title conveys and existing financing is paid off (loan is approved.4) Some states like NC make it difficult to evict, and they need to have some kind of foreclosure.

I absolutely support this program.

It also has a clause in it that would give you an "out" if for some reason you aren't able to lock in the funding: "This offer is contingent on Buyer receiving adequate financing and approval from Buyer’s partner."
