Seriously, that sounds like a legitimate survey to you?

In cases where the investor wanted to sell within 180 days of purchase (again, that time-frame is the interpretation of most underwriters), and where the sale price exceeds the previous purchase price by more than 20%, the lender will be required to take extra steps to ensure the sale is legitimate.

The point here is the credibility is making sure that the contractor or sub-contractors are legitimate contractor’s or sub-contractors which brings more credibility from the bottom up.

Some do legitimately need some moving help.

He didn't bother looking at any of my documents (purchase & sale agreement, mortgage, leases with my current tenants, etc.) that would have demonstrated a legitimate need to run credit checks, which surprised me.It was a rather silly exercise - though I have a locking file cabinet (which the investigator photographed), that's not where I store my rental property info.

This has already happened and bankrupted people here in Orlando; I remember reading about it in the paper a few months back.A likely result in this market, with a legitimate company looking out for a win win situation, is that they end up having to hold onto the house for longer than they hope, taking lower amount of money if they do find a buyer, or dipping into cash reserves to keep from losing your shirt.HOWEVER, there's also a much worse possibility: They buy the home with a low price and using your credit, then they find a lender who gives them an equity loan as a line of credit or a straight second mortgage [without your knowledge].

I'm wondering how much that may be taking away from legitimizing those repair estimates to the banks.

I'm just curious what's out there, and researching the different strategies has been great fun.As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'll spend the money on a program if it's legitimate.
