Failure to provide flood when required would result in the issuance of force placed insurance by the lender.I've found that flood disputes can work which is surprising when dealing with the government!

I wish I had answers for you, but all I can do is commiserate with you.

Hello all!I

I don’t see the issue with debt pay down at all. I

The mortgage forces you to pay the same amount every month whether you owe $80K or $800K and pays the interest and whatever is left to principal. 

Good afternoon all! I

My first investment property was a 2 family at 175k... i was going to put the min 3.5% down... but my lender found a grant through the cincinnati port authority.... they had grants for buying in certain neighborhoods... this particular grant was only for first time buyers, in certain neighborhoods, and you had to have 720+ credit and not make more than 100k with your W-2... but they paid my entire downpayment... and all i needed was to bring 3k in closing costs..... this allowed me to get in for so low....

Hi all,I have everything in place to close on a property purchase, however, Seller is wanting to take on another contract, because closing was delayed by a week, and we did not have an amendment to officially extend the close date.

Appreciation can also be forced as in commercial or MF properties.
