FHA regs govern all - 90 days.Joel Soforenko

I was like, this is the best thing ever. 2 weeks later i reinvested 5,000 of it into another penny stock in the "mining sector".

With the exception of a few regulations, mostly about settlement procedures (they're on that HUD site) and loan regulations, the US government is not very involved in real estate.

It's always a combination of location and market.My college rentals are in demand as enrollment increases.My low-income rentals are soft as businesses/government cut back hours and renters move back in with relatives.Unfortunately there's a steady supply of investors bidding up foreclosure prices in prime rental areas, sacrificing cash flow for expected appreciation.Maybe they're geniuses but it's not a bet I'm willing to make.

I know about the seasoning rules when it comes to buying homes using an FHA loan then turning around and selling them.I also know that if I purchase a government foreclosure there are seasoning rules also when reselling.But, if I buy a house with cash from an owner that owns a house free and clear then sell it to someone using an FHA/VA loan, are there seasoning issues as well?

The US government is offering $8k for first time buyers.

Maybe it's my ignorance, but all the offers I submit (And to the best of my knowledge, required by the governing laws) are in writing and must be accompanied by a copy of the earnest money check.

I didnt learn much, but I met some people in government that I called the next week when I needed help.

You can put $20K into a CD and actually make $50 a month with zero risk, guaranteed by the US government.

Apply the same logic to the Federal government and you will realize that from the very beginnings we were organized as a REPULIC form of government.
