Not that it really matters I guess, except if you are trying to buy at auction...where you'll need cash.Yes you can get a regular loan to buy a house that is in the foreclosure processYes you can get a regular loan to buy a house that is an REOYour friend and the "Construction Loan" is assuming the property is a wreck...

I'm guessing it's because the title of your post is that you are looking for private money lending partnership, but it sounds like you are looking at getting into real estate investing to begin a portfolio.

Actually just got an offer accepted for a client of mine yesterday on a duplex in Peabody.

PITI + PM Fee = $1,458.82 PER month You actually only cash flow $141.18 per month and that's IF your escrow is only 3k annually. 

In my head I see that the property value must come down to it's actual value (minus all liens/rehab) before discounting it for the cash buyer and then taking your assignment cut.

You should look at any limitations on gift taxes though, and she may actually want to structure it around any of this.

I just posted in another forum you can get cash flow and appreciation in columbus and I posted a few charts that show appreciation in columbus vs Cleveland (actually a downtrend in the last bit) 

I would guess there will be a pool exclusion.The coverage you will need would be a Renovation Builders Risk Policy. 

I never do a full refund, i always take a small amount for CC charges. i guess i would say it depends on how much. if it was over say $5-600, i would probably refund.
