Once you have an FHA loan you are not allowed to have another FHA loan unless relocating a great distance for work.Now that you have exhausted your Low Down Payment Options (Portfolio Conventional and FHA Conventional and FHA) you will need to use a Standard Conventional Loan and put 20% down to get your 3rd Duplex.The sky is the limit...you could continue to buy properties and build an empire or just stop there and enjoy more free time...I have friend who quit his job and just manages his properties now.Keep in mind that this 4 step process I outlined takes time (anywhere from 1 to 10yrs depending on the person) so keep the big picture in mind but don't let it stress you out too much.

Hello, does anyone have a Joint venture form/contract that they could share?

Stop watching that flip crap on TV and get out into the street and find your own contractors and prices.Sorry to be short and cranky, but I am old so it is OK.  

I did buy a few properties that way, but I stopped doing it quickly because I figured out much better ways to find deals.

I'm relatively new on this site and have been listening to podcasts and reading forums posts to the point my mind doesn't stop thinking about real estate..which is a good thing.

They also have a limited lifespan of about 15 years, and they stopped making them in 1995 due to massive lawsuits against obvious defects and limited lifespan vs. copper and others.

I have no idea how this sausage was made, but it is pretty clear that they were thinking of venture companies

i just received this "potential lead" minutes ago  ( Providence, Rhode Island), its a 2 building property, one unit is a 3 family and the other one, one family, he tells me that in the 1 family we cannot go in an see because he has a tenant under section 8 and is going thru the eviction with the court. the other 3 unit house is vacant due to renovation he was working on it and seems to stop. told me hes not desperate to sell bu, but i know my fellow Dominicans lol, hes a avoiding a low blow from me on the price.im looking to see if i should wholesale this to a landlord, seller finance (he owns free and clear) or hard money lending so i can fix and hold. wow!

Many have stopped looking at homes as it cost arm and a leg to own housing.I am not a strong supporter of using median home prices for comparison.

I practically stopped listening to music and television all together.
