@Nir WittenbergI recently got pre-approved for a mortgage through First National Bank.

You can also do direct mail to people who are in pre foreclosure.Good luck

There are other differences of course  reporting, resale times State Approvals, SEC pre approvals, Suitability Standards, and advertising methods.  

Right now, just one property I bought in pre-foreclosure.  

Especially if your pre-screening prior to calling them over.

Looks like to me you'll have to partner up with someone experienced to do  the first couple of deals until you get a track record/bank roll going.You say you're "handy."

Now they have this big pre-pay penalty to deal with.So if your strategy is to get investor loans for SFR houses then getting the up to ten properties locked in for 30 years makes sense.The other poster getting a 10 year fixed rate loan at 4.6 with a 25 year amortization from a bank is very hard to find.

The IRS has been very unhelpful and unresponsive, so I thought I'd see if anybody here has encountered this situation before, and what channels they went through to get the ball rolling and resolve it.Thanks in advance!

I seem to recall another investor mentioned that because it was within the last 6 months, they used the original purchase of the pre-rehab property as a comp!

We may find valid reason to increase the assessment for the 2017 roll to reflect your purchase price.
