The other mortgage mod. programs have flopped, but if this is accurate it sounds like a much bigger deal.

I've since found out that US Bank will go to 6 financed properties, at least in my area, and I have a loan in process with them.Here's a few more pieces of info I've picked up lately:If you want to use any of the rental income for qualifying in debt ratio calcs, you'll need the following with US Bank (they follow Freddie Mac guidelines, I believe Fannie Mae is very similar so this should be generally accurate across the board):* 2 years experience owning 1-4 unit properties as documented on Sch.

If those numbers are accurate, it's a great deal.,.In fact, it's so good of a deal (potentially $120K profit on a $300K sale), I'd be skeptical those numbers were accurate.But again, if they are, looks great!

Probably only a probate attorney could give her accurate advice.

as for the rehab costs: You need to get accurate estimates from contractors before you close on a property.

I'm also curious about the question @Andrew Fink had about how to accurately estimate rehab costs.

If you do what the crowd does, you'll get the results the crowd does - Which are lower returns than someone that can accurately assess risk and make investments.Same thing happened in 2011 most people didn't want to buy. 

I have seen some people factor in O&M/vacancies into their books to more accurately forecast a clear cash flow value.

The problem is to make an accurate analysis and ultimately an accurate presentation to the lender I have to first get access to the property.

However each inquiry is only a 5 point hit if that.Submit it to lenders with instructions to base the pricing off the submitted current  Tri merge bureau and not pull a new one until you have formally applied.This allows them to accurately price their product and generate the estimates.
