@Shondell Alford@Brenden Mitchum is correct that in a strong seller's market, the 203k is not viewed as one of the most desirable loan options, despite the amazing benefits it provides to Realtors, Sellers, Buyers, Lenders, Contractors, real estate values, and the local community.Now, a 203k + DPA will be much more difficult (maybe impossible) to do in this current market. 

It is almost impossible to get someone to fill out the W9 once you've paid them.

It's not impossible to get a conventional loan on an investment property (I have a client closing on one in like 2 weeks), but the new regulations have certainly made it a little more difficult and have caused a lot of lenders to increase rates/points on investment properties and second homes to reduce the volume they are originating. 

Alright so doing the daily deal analysis and found this property, 230 Belle ave randomly on the tax assessors site, and was playing around with it, it seems like a nearly impossible place to pull off in my circumstances, so I am curious, how would you guys make this work, and I am curious under what outcomes do you define 'work'.

It's near impossible to change those rules of a neighborhood because everyone purchased and accepted those rules -- that's why development requiring discretionary review is so dang difficult.Like I said - no ill wishes towards anyone. 

I live and invest in Joplin MO. with a population of around 60k. and when I turn on the news it is almost impossible to relate to any of what I hear.

We modernized it and we completed was seemed impossible to do. 

It is nearly impossible to convince a seller to accept an FHA offer.

Getting a sat may be impossible. 

Running analysis, I'm finding it impossible to recoup money out.
