What is your thoughts on hard money investing in the New York area, mainly Syracuse.

Hard when you work full time, mainly because my passion for REI is overpowering my non-passion at my day job.

They have ONE year of experience, as opposed to my choice with 14 years. the other bms like them because they will plan events...I said if we wanted parties we could hire an events planner.

So I KNOW he's lost any interest in my well being, not that he ever had any.My choices are:1.

That gives you a larger comfort zone, economically.It sounds to me like a very good choice for a property to buy and hold

And a short sale is usually the last choice on the lender's list of options, only slightly better than an actual foreclosure.

The main one could be that your focus is narrowed to the area you are farming, but if you choose your farm area well then this should really be more of a help than a hindrance, because it will mean more business for you overall.

Pretty sure both those first choices are loan fraud, unless everything is disclosed to the lender and the lender agrees.A rehab loan or hard money loan with a rate-and-term refi is your best bet, IMHO.

You will want to do yellow letters and emphasize the benefits you offer landlords:-Elimate tenant hassles and headaches forever-No more chasing tenants to pay the rent-We never charge any fees or commissions -We can close on the date of your choice-We will buy your house “as-is”-It doesn’t matter if the property is vacant or occupied

Folks, I'm going to make this the main Trada thread and make it sticky.
