financing is the biggest headache I deal with,,most of the guidlines you are talking about aren't with the bank, but with Fannie,, some of the rules make no sense,, and one mystake can make it so that you can't go conventional, but there is always a portfolio loan from a bank (a loan they don't sell), but you won't lock in the rate for 30 years

Not impossible to buy an individual note, but not easy, either.A note buyer would be wanting to make a profit.

most hard money loans are interest only, and most I deal in are 6 months, interest paid monthly.they will loan me 70% of the after repaired value of he home,,,so if its a home that will be worth $100k when I'm finished, and I'm paying $65, and it will cost $10k to rehab,,then they will bring $70k to closing, I will pay closing cost plus the other $5k ($65k+$10k),,they will then escrow the rehab money.You will also have your signature on the loan, and they want you to have decent credit

These are 4 two bedrooms ideally, but often a mix of 2's and 1's.

Take the resources that would chase down/harass the individual and use it take down the real tax cheats: business, from small mom & pops to giant corporations.

Normally, you could say that the bulk buyers could suck up more properties but the problem is they can't get them online faster than the army of individual investors out there could.

I have not spoken to the owner yet (but will) but my friend also said that the property has had full vacancy for over 3 years (mostly elderly people), Utilities are metered individually, refrigerator, gas range, washer/dryer hookup in each unit.

With the banks gone, less bids and more individual winners.In 2010, the top winner invested $372,081.27 in total.

Since we measure individual projects and aim to place capital as quickly as possible, this is the best measurement for us.

I seriously think that some landlords (mainly talking about typical private individuals here - not larger management companies) forget about the basics!
