Saving up right now while paying down credit card debt.

Like a credit card you can use it as many times as you want.  

They might have good credit because they're making the minimum payments, but can't get a loan due to the expensive new truck payments, credit card, or student loan debt they have.  

Besides the five years there I lived in Dallas County.  

Regarding resales after the rehab is complete:I read somewhere that it was suggested to include a maximum of five weeks as the closing date in your agreement with the buyer (five weeks post the date the contract is signed that is) and that loan funding, whether it be conventional, FHA, etc. should not take any longer than this with a good broker.Is this realistic?

I cannot interrupt a meeting with business executives for lack of toilet paper, someone's key card not working, or oh wait...where do I park?  

Also local banks typically offer a 15/15 which is a 15 year fix with a 15 year amortization or a 5/20 which is a five year fix with a 20 year amortization.

I know that if a property goes to a tax sale and is sold, the mortgages are wiped out so the home is purchased ONLY for the amount of taxes due - free and clear.BUT, if you obtain a tax delinquent list from the county, mail a card to the owners stating the situation and that you would like to purchase their property BEFORE it hits the tax sale, do the mortgages get wiped out or are you responsible for any mortgages plus tax lien?

I am in the beginning stages (just setting up website and getting business cards) and I was thinking that leveraging the older marketing of the "We buy ugly houses" might be a good idea.
