The fact they did not recognize opportunities locally, the best in modern history, does make some wonder how could they be able to recognize great opportunities remotely?

i...FHA INFO #14-73December 10, 2014NEWS AND UPDATESTO:All FHA-Approved Mortgagees What’s New Expiration of the Federal Housing Administration’s Property Flipping WaiverToday, the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) Office of Single Family Housing announced that the temporary waiver of FHA’s regulation that prohibits the use of FHA financing to purchase single family properties that are being resold within 90 days of the previous acquisition ,expires on December 31, 2014.

I literally hung up on the loan officer when I heard that ridiculous amount.

We deal with this all the time. you cannot RECORD title until day 91. in utah we have a typical 30-45 day escrow period, so lots of times, we can buy, rehab and put it on the market around 45-60 days after purchase so if there is an offer right on opening weekend, with a typical escrow period it should fund at title and record at the county recorders office after the 90 day restriction has been lifted. 

I wouldn't probably get a roommate, just would use one room as an office.

Check out your county clerks office (online).  

Hi @Timothy Daniels,I am an active investor and own multi-family, SFR, office, retail, and land on Whidbey Island. 

So even if your values decrease, your taxes may still increase.Working in a tax office, I can tell you, that house you are looking at could very well end up costing more in taxes at 75k next year than it does at 92k this year.

We met at his Wilmington office, discussed options and moved forward.  

It probably wont make much of a difference but it cant hurt either.In the future you can try doing these two things1) When contractors go to home depot or any of our suppliers to order material on our account, the suppliers are not allowed to moved forward without calling our office and getting authorization for the order.
