I am a new investor and I am looking for a program that I can plug numbers into to see if it looks like a deal worth pursuing.I am interested in something that would be beneficial for buy hold/ rentalthanks in advance guys.Btw.I have tried the free spreadsheet that was posted a few years ago but I cant seem to find where my numbers would go in to it.

,If FNM is short for Fannie Mae, the 4 mortgage limit has been changed to a limit of 10 mortgages.Here is a link talking about that: http://themortgagereports.com/7395/the-5-10-properties-program-is-for-investors-with-more-than-4-properties-financedRaymond

I know that there's not one approved solution, but just curious to find out at least what my options are and what has/hasn't worked for people that are much smarter than I!

Electric companies also have rebate programs.

I met the lady who runs that program and EVERYONE is successful who goes through that program and it's required for all new owners.

A lot of times, it takes more than the address of the tax bill, and googling the persons name, cheching whitepages, facebook, radaris, etc..Skip programs are pretty amazing, they'll tell you the adress of a person if they are renting, as well as phone numbers (cell and landlines), family members, etc...

I agree that this will most likely be a waste of time...That being said, Ben Leybovich, it was my understanding that I could have a "subject to partner approval" clause in the contract that could allow me to get out of the contract (say within 30 days) if I am unable to find a buyer.

Pull comps, check the lease option, interest rates, cross fingers and hope a new program comes out to cover everyone "Making Rentals Affordable" application.

Ok I just got pre-approved for an FHA loan.

Have considered the new Instant Pay program from Intuit, but not sure on their fees yet.Im sure this isnt the first time its been discussed, so if anyone knows of a previous thread, please let us know.
