On the Fannie's I've bought the deed restriction has always been no transfer within 30 days and no transfer for more than 120% of the purchase price in 90 days.

The repairs can be less than $100k but if the loan amount is over $100k a third party fund control is required, amount other restrictions, is my understanding.

This may seem odd to do hat  but I once purchased and flipped a very expensive lot by establishing these little 90  day notes at several banks and then borrowing enough to make the purchase and resell in a couple of weeks.  

If someone were to weigh the odds of getting a degree vs a career in REI as far as the amount of money you'd be making, REI would win everytime. 

Keep in mind, for me at least, the contract was not assignable and had a 90 day restriction on reselling.

We are getting her a green card, but it has not come through just yet.What do you think my odds are of being able to rent an apartment or house?

I know you have done them around the country but oddly never in Memphis considering how hot it has been since forever !! 

Claiming they have special connections with banks to improve you odds of qualifying.

Some cities, counties or areas don't restrict it so you're ok.

Even at a 5% down payment, this option looks far more attractive than the Homepath FHA 3.5% down payment product, but I just found it odd that Homepath is still listing properties and not continuing Homepath financing for them.
