It's so hard when starting out to navigate through foreclosure auctions, wholesalers, and other non traditional means but the mls is a tough place to find deals at the moment.  

I have a project of rehabbing 2-3 multi-unit properties in North New Jersey and would like to know whether somebody has contacts to lenders that do non-recourse refinancing of these properties that have about 60% LTV.

I'm certain the intent in the DFA and more importantly from a courts perspective in the minds of the authors that a non-bank doing unlimited occupant financings was not in their intent.

Most of all, you can't force a non-deal to be a deal... you make (or lose) most/all of your money when you buy! 

When I rent to others with pets I charge a non refundable pet deposit AND add a monthly pet fee per pet.

If you sell it to a non-investor retail buyer you will probably make a significantly higher amount by putting up the walls and painting it than not.

This might be a non issue but I'm trying to plan ahead.
