Although he can afford the monthly payments, most of his cash is tied up in other investments (real estate, toys, etc).

She can afford her payments now.

But after reading the newspaper every day for the past two years, I personally don't think it's such a hot idea to help qualify people for homes they can't afford.

I knew Steve when he was doing coaching for his own product.

Thats pretty much the max of what I can afford so im looking to put the closing costs in the mortgage.I bought a home in Houston, Tx in 2005 and sold it in July of 06.

Assuming you qualify, which is to say you have enough income and not too much debt so you can afford the new loan, and the property qualifies, meaning the amount of the new loan is less than typically 90% of the value, you'll be able to find someone to give you a new loan.

My ad explains that I am looking for people behind on payments, facing foreclosure, fixer uppers they can't afford to maintain, etc...However these sellers did not seem real motivated at all.

I agree that most people use the tapes, books, etc. as dust collectors which is the main reason they are not successful, although most of the guru products are tools to upsale you on the next "bootcamp".My partner actually got started in RE by buying the Carlton Sheets program and he became one of his "success stories".

I'm eager to learn more and get started investing but I couldn't afford the advanced classes to find out what to do next.I don't own any properties except my own house and have never looked at investing before.

Why do you feel that you will no longer be able to afford the payments?
