I know real estate is a revered profession, but I've gone through 6 agents and the last one filed the wrong paperwork and I lost out a great deal.  

The key is that 2 year work history that you'll need to establish.In certain circumstances you can use the income before you even receive your first paystub (certain relocation and job change scenarios), however typically you'll need to receive atleast 1 paystub to use it.If you have had no work within the last 12 months preceeding this new job then you may need to be on this job for a min of 6 months before you can close on this new loan which would hamper your plans to close within 45 days on this duplex.Then again scenario #3 if you have the credit and the down payment and the property cash flows from conventional underwriting perspective and you have "no credit card debts," on your credit report then you may be able to qualify any way since your debt to income or DTI will be 0% (property cash flows) no debt outstanding to qualify for as the duplex will be adding income to your scenario.I've had an underwriter okay scenario #3 above but have never funded a deal like.

How have the last 60 days been with them...Are the bonuses you bought worth it?

I have been reading forum posts, books & blogs on BP for the last several months and thought it was time to stop in to say hello!

Unlike most organizations, I believe in keeping the historic look of the neighborhood, and revitalizing the homes, while allowing them to keep their rustic charm.According to the article the amount of sold listings has more than doubled since 2015 and home prices have increased from $113,000 to $143,000 in the last six monthsAlthough the neighborhood may not be quick returns, there is definitely long term potential in the Barrio Hollywood Neighborhood and we look forward to further investments in this community.  

We have used them for the last couple of dealsThey do 30 year amt on 3 to 7 year adjustable rates.  

And if you ever give consideration on something for rent, never do it on the first month's rent - first month, deposit, and last month (if you do this) are always paid in full, and you discount month #2 or something subsequent. 

It wasn't my plan to get into REI until I bought a new home last year and had little choice but to rent out my condo.

The thing that has raised my eyebrows is the lack of personal or principal information on the site or any information on BBB and this is the last reply.

However, I've seen the full income statement from the last 2 years, and the previous owner hasn't been making nearly as much as I would expect, mainly due to high costs.First question: should I be worried that this is a lemon... or is it an opportunity?
