The shows make it sound soooo easy that any fool with some dough and credit thinks s/he can jump right into a flip, splash on some fresh paint and add shiney drawer pulls and make a fortune.I get bid out by these fools regularly and then watch those properties languish on the market for months at a time.

Or, some sort of personal loan or a loan secured by some other collateral. 10% would be very good on a fix and flip loan based on ARV.

Hopefully a quick judgement from a Texas court and a lien on the property to secure the judgement might be the best way to see my deposit again from these guys.

Several problems have occured to get where we are today, needless to say we still have the house on the market.Yesterday I received a call from my agent telling me that there is a couple, he is in the airforce, they are wanting to rent our house for 6 months while he is out on tour and then when he gets back they will use a VA loan to buy the house for the full listing price.I am not a mortgage specialist, but from what I was told through our agent is that after he gets back from this tour, he will then reconnect with his regular full time job, and will acquire a VA loan which supposedly he is already pre-qualified for.I have not done any lease options, but I have wanted to start looking into them, but wasn't prepared to do so with this house.
