A huge part of the problem is that the water company (MO American Water) is not communicating with their own contracting company that they use to install a reading device on the meter. 

Does anyone use a Freddie Mac loan?

I’m a medical device rep and have been investing since 2010.

it's a distressed property so of course there are some things wrong.it's freddie mac REO, way past the owner occupant period which ended in january 2018. it was originally listed at 50k dec 2017. went under contract in july at 42k, now it came back at 38k. but looking on redfin it was on and off the market since 2012.its in a neighborhood where houses are selling between 70k - 135k. in fact the 135k looks just like this one and its on the same street. on the inside it's pretty nice, seems like just paint and flooring. might need new mechanicals etc and some mold in basement. so as a newbie i'm thinking, what am i missing?

I thought Freddie Mac SFR pilot program would take care of this problem. https://arbor.com/freddie-mac/sfr/https://a10capital.com/products/freddie-mac-sfr-pilot-programhttps://www.corevestfinance.com/freddie-mac-loan/

Does anyone have experience assuming a Freddie Mac loan that can give me some insight as to how I would underwrite this into the deal?

Wondering what BP crowd thinks of the recent news tha the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced Tuesday that Fannie and Freddie will both be shutting down their single-family rental pilot programs and ending their participation in the single-family rental market, outside of their previously existing small investor programs – Fannie Mae’s Multiple Financed Properties and Freddie Mac’s Investment Property Mortgages.

What I mean by that is that your refinance is most likely going to be with a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac  program, if you want the best rates and terms.

Many residential mortgages are purchased by the quasi-governmental entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. 

However, when I login to BP using chrome on my Android device I am able to see the option to change the profile picture.
