There are first time home financing programs available, might be better to investigate that while making that offer.

Wow, that's a huge subject, seperate degree programs surround municipal planning.

It could be 150 - 155K....The owner gets $3000 as down payment ...In an underwater situation, the seller gets NOTHING in a short sale (except under some government sponsored programs paid by taxpayers).

Lot more buyers, less inventory, and according to title company contacts a lot more home owners getting approved for loan mods (taking future properties off the market for the short term anyway).

Nick was the original starter of our local real estate group, he then started touring selling his programs and speaking so handed off to another guy.

By the way, if there is no lease agreement, I'd get them set up on a month to month ASAP for other reasons.You obviously approved of the property condition (you bought it), so it does not appear that the dog is causing property damage.

Welcome to BP Daniel, I caught this on the second page without an answer.It could be it went unanswered because with a little reading here most all of your questions would be answered and there were so many questions it's harder for someone to keep them all straight to give an answer.Seems most interest is in refinancing after work is completed, yes you can, but only to 75/80% of the value, you won't cash out to 100%.Financing rehabs is usually local, there are fha programs for small fixes, but you need to speak to your bank and a good mortgage broker.

I see and approve all rental applications, and maintenance calls so I am very involved, but I couldn't function with out a great property management company to help me out.

We generally look at programs or systems that earn an immediate return.

Seek financing (pre-approval). 6.
