It may not be much more than one of the items I listed above and doesn't necessarily make the place a toxic waste dump.

Nick, banks generally don't list homes at 33% of FMV, how solid are your numbers?

In some ways it kind of seems like a waste when a lot of people in the area would probably love to have that tax rate.

It's frustrating me, because I'm still working on Private Lending, but I'd like to be able to get some solid comps and start running numbers on some properties, to present to my potential lender.

So many gurus will tell you to build your buyers list first, in my opinion, that is a waste of time.

Both of your points are solid advice.

Now we are wasting time & money due to the upcoming Holidays!

"It's not enough, I know that already, that's a waste of time".

I would say ask around and just be upfront with the lenderr so you don't waste your time and get so far into the process only to be turned down later due to having too many properties in your name.good luck,Chris

Or is it better to have a solid foundation of dependable income before jumping ship?
