Hi Keri,When it comes to rehab projects, the qualifications can vary depending on whether you're dealing with an institutional private lender or a private lender investor.

Why do you say that any deal can work if you buy it cheap enough.

What’s the best deal to look for in Utah, based on the numbers?

SQ FT needs to be as close as possible, within 100-200 SQ FT.

NACA could call the loan if they think you didn't make a necessary choice, they do not consider paying off credit cards as okay.Your HELOC lender can also close the line if your FICO goes down or they find out they are in 3rd position.NACA is an amazing product no down, no PMI, low rate, no fees - you sure don't want them to call the loan.

I finally have my first deal done and generating income.

I would be like, "Listen, I'm sorry this isn't working out with all this noise, and if this noise is a deal breaker we are ok with you moving out early to find a quieter place." 

Some" not all builders tend to use the "Builder incentive" tactic like - We will give you $20K towards closing which sounds great but when the builder is setting the market and creating its own sales to move the market it’s a scam!

Better yet is to buy well so you can pull as much of your own money out as soon as possible to replenish your reserves and have dry powder to put to work for the next deal.

That's a rough area Tim......You're going to be dealing with an uphill battle getting quality folks to take on a property like that one.
