I personally think the loan product is fine, but you need a bullet proof estimate from a contractor who understands how the process works.

Now I don't think this is going to happen this go around I think 6 months to 9 months will bring that product back.but for the short term you may have to just bite the bullet there are plenty of lenders that will do these at 5 to 10 points and 8 to 10% interest for 5 to 10 years.. not optimum but better than a foreclosure. 

I would like to have the slab sprayed/cleaned before the new carpet is installed.Any suggestions as to methods or products?

In the major Metropolitan area, Sparefoot or a similar product take the lead because it is all about SEO (search engine optimization).

The end product looked great.  

Overall it is a cleaner product with fewer errors and saves tremendous time versus cinder block.Good luck!

Its the 203k loan option product that is frozen because of COVID-19.You need to look at the various loan products and find the best one for you...As in investor, you shouldn't be worried so much as getting the sellers "top dollar." 

Since you'll be an owner-occupant, you'll be shopping for the same loan product for anything from a single-family house to a fourplex.

It seems that any investment that does not create "ordinary income" would be ok (for example - need to avoid fix n flip, wholesaling, and anything that sells a product).

We bought some of the products we will be using for our video marketing campaign (tripod, microphone, etc.) and hope to start implementing video within the next week or so.
