It is pathetic that the greatest country in the history of the world can't figure out how to let someone who'se identity has been stolen, change their SS#.

The example "extenuating circumstance" in the FHA guidelines literally talks about a scenario that's exactly identical to yours. 

In addition, a USDA loan presents a weaker offer to the seller.The reason is that if your parents get this home under agreement today, but find a much better home - a *perfect* home - tomorrow, they could walk away at the expense of their EMD and not a dime more.If I'm representing a seller and get identical offers with USDA and FHA financing, I'll recommend that my seller takes the FHA offer every time. 

The only way to get good as a real estate investor is to do the work in the field.You have to know what a dump of a house looks like, feels like and smells like so when you look at photos of a crapshow in some random town that is a "steal" you know that it needs more than lipstick to go back on the market.

Every deal is different and while two properties might be at the same price point, one could be too expensive and the other could be a steal.

I don't want someone to steal it (cost me $200), or press the buttons on it.  

Sales folks are great but the constant identical TK peddling posts aimed at the newer members is getting old to have read all the time too.
