In a FSBO, all they want is the realtor to make one trip to their door with a qualified buyer.

I have some web tools to help people with financing options, checking their own credit, seeing what they qualify etc...

Options are best used in shorter terms.As to a sandwich lease, pretty simple concept, but still these are not ideal arrangements for any significant term, more than three years and a few months allowing a buyer time to actually qualify for financing.If anyone has the answer on any video, I suggest you post it here.

I always get a kick out of hearing the guy who makes 45K a year and has 2 small kids and a wife talk about how all those "losers" drain our social system with entitlements and then point out that he qualifies as well!

Hands down I can say the biggest mistake I made was.....I GOT GREEDYIt's easy to do and it's sad to see nearly all investors at some point get sucked in by the all mighty dollar.Keep your retail sales price in a bracket that 80% of the buying public can qualify for and don't buy any property for more than 70 cents on the dollar (exclude long term rent properties).Jim Watkinswww.dfwmentor.com

Have a list of lenders that will give you 100% Non owner occupied as long as you qualify with a Great FICO score.

The sellers agent claims that I should have known I would not qualify for the loan which is completely untrue.But the sellers agent and sellers of the house still has not signed for the release of my earnest money.

Longbeach has been sued by the United states government and as long as they claim they won't do it again, everything is rosy.In one case Longbeach through one of their brokers actually increased a homeowners income from 3500 to over 7,000 so that he could qualify for the loan on his own because the wife's name had been used in an earlier loan application that had been pulled.

Not trying to be rude to all realtors because I am sure that some of them are very skilled in structuring deals.

If you have the cash or can qualify for a mortgage, subject to certain restrictions, you may buy a HUD home.
