Hi everyone I am Kim Henderson, Realtor, Foreclosure Intervention Specialist, REO Agent in Stark, Carroll, Mahoning, Columbiana Countys, Ohio.

Of course you have to look at the actual numbers, but in your situation you may be better off renting.

Often it's accompanied by a "guarantee to sell" clause, except of course the 'admin fee' is not reimbursed.

I have recently become very interested in the concept of Notes.I just started studying a course in it.

This offers better flexibility in terms of ltv and rates/cost as compared to a true no doc.Of course these loans are for properties that are in at least average habitable condition.

Now, if you're looking to be the person who is managing a rehab or being day-to-day hands-on, I don't think that is the case but as a pure cash/credit investor and/or landlord, I think you will find that remote investing can be quite rewarding.If you are looking for some resources to connect with in other states, try this board of course or other places on the web (I like Craig's List).

I made them take out the "comps" that were not similar to my house, ie; everything that had standing seam metal roofs, granite countertops, media rooms, prewired with CAT 5, waterfront or golf course lots.

Is it too late to buy the 2nd on this property (at a discount of course.)

Although these factors may not be an immediate part of the financial considerations they should be as shortcomings in due diligence can prove expensive and, of course, issues uncovered should be reflected in the purchase price of the property.

so of course, that just means more fines for me.grand.now i need to wait for board approval but that can take up to 21 business days. meanwhile i've been fined up the arse with no floors, no kitchen to cook any meals with, and no sinks (shower=temp sink).
