In my county you have to submit an application to the building code council, advertise with in 500 ft radius of the property and after the BCC approves you still have to be approved by the county council. and that is assuming no one objects.  

I has been pre-approved for a reno loan through Fannie Mae's HomeStyle Renovation loan program as an investor.

I currently focus on flipping houses in Mobile & Baldwin Counties of Alabama, close to the Gulf of Mexico.  

i...FHA INFO #14-73December 10, 2014NEWS AND UPDATESTO:All FHA-Approved Mortgagees What’s New Expiration of the Federal Housing Administration’s Property Flipping WaiverToday, the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) Office of Single Family Housing announced that the temporary waiver of FHA’s regulation that prohibits the use of FHA financing to purchase single family properties that are being resold within 90 days of the previous acquisition ,expires on December 31, 2014.

I am pre-approve for 200k to buy a 3rd home as a owner occupied but I found a duplex where I can live in one half but it's smaller than my current home lender says they'll have a hard time getting me the loan for a duplex but they can do it for a sfr so if I want to buy the duplex how can I go about it? 

It’s typically a mistake and will ultimately cost you more money on another appraisal.Most hard money lenders have an approved list of or use just one appraiser or appraisal company.

If I want to buy an investment property while still owning my home, it will raise my debt-to-income ratio much higher and I am worried that I may not be approved for a loan. 

I just got pre-approved for my first mortgage and I couldn't be more excited!!!!  

They will also make it difficult for contractors to get any work done on the property.To minimize the risk of having one, add an extra level of screening where priory to approving, you schedule a call with them to discuss the property, lease agreement, and the way you to business.  

Heres is a question, why in the heck does people that are on section 8 that most likely dont have income coming in and has bad credit get approved for a rental, I hear people say that because the rental payment is guranteed, nothing is guranteed especially section 8 people theres alot of people that dont follow the rules for section 8 like people living with them or getting caught doing drugs its just a matter of time that they will get caught and lose their section 8.
