Bank rep will give you more info.

Thanks for the welcome backs Charles and Justin........

(Not talking about war zones, just in general).

Find out from the HML what it would take to go for 6 or more months, just in case.

If you do, you can just record it as a just in case or you can go and professionally explain to the seller what is happening and why you feel you are being taken advantage of.

So we know the following: 1) A loan officer, title rep or other ancillary service provider cannot pay a RE agent a "kickback" or otherwise provide items of value as part of an ongoing business relationship.2) An RE agent cannot pay or otherwise provide items of value to an unlicensed person as a referral fee.But- what I don't know is what (if anything) is to be done if a RE agent makes a donation to a 501(C)(3) org.

I bet not BryanA, anything out of Texas will be weighted heavily for the benefit of large corporate interests, just in time to fend off any future BP Oil suits too.

So this means it is better to buy the live-in property first, just in case the second loan is difficult to get.I assume the same is true if I rent out a few rooms and receive income from the room renter.

. :)We do the same thing, though our rep will do it all within one order...When we go through the bid-desk at Home Depot, we find that on the first-pass, generally about 30% of the items are discounted 20-40% and the rest aren't discounted at all.

Water, sun, great soil, not a ton of people compared to other parts...And just in the last week I read an article which seems to dovetail with these assumptions, except the author has a research staff to help him with the evidence. http://www.scribd.com/doc/53865070/GMO-April It is an enlightening and well researched report on what is likely to come.
