For the first month I was starting out I worked with a realtor that gave me nothing but miss leading information.

I think what the realtors are trying to create is an assurance of fidelity.

I would suggest that you not only read some of the posts on here, but you should start to build a team to help you in your investing (realtor, lender, etc.)

Looks to be a great place and I look forward to delving deeper into the community.I am a Realtor/Broker who helps investors and non-investors alike buy and sell individual homes in the area but I also help clients buy and sell large packages of investment properties.

I am not a realtor or agent.

Shannon,I'd be happy to help out with realtor and broker recommendations.

I overheard a realtor saying the guidelines are getting very tight on this method, I'm wanting to see if it's still possible to do.I'm purchasing a home for 13k putting 7k in it, I see the homes in the area are selling for 64k, and my mentor has 2 on the street that appraised for $67,000.

So on a $100,000 house and HUD agreed to a 85,000 net, add on realtor fees and closing cost asked for and that would be your price.

Also i found a MLS database site that gives investors and non-realtors access to the MLS and lists.

You will more than likely have to find a NY broker that belongs to a PA realtors board in order to get MLS access.
