It's very important to get all the skills you can so you can acheive your dreams.

I talked to Wells Fargo loan and they basically told me that I could:a. find a cosmetic fixer only (doesnt interest me) and do my own repairb. find a fixer but I would have to have a licensed contractor do all plumbing, roofing, HVAC, electrical, etc...It must be possible to qualify for a loan on a fixer and actually do the work yourself on the property.

I am trying to build business credit so that in a year or so I can start to qualify for commercial loans for my investment properties.

I have been in some of these countries, and I have served in the military, so I feel more than qualified to express my point of view.

A Charge-off does not qualify as a release.

I imagine either would work if they have the contacts and can secure credibility and qualify.

Most potential buyers will be qualifying for an FHA purchase becuasee they are the easiest to obtain right now.

Barring that having someone who will (do good) work cheap, on the things that are withing their skill level can accomplish the same thing.Even though I lived through the high inflation of the 60s, 70s and 80s I knew that CASH IS KING and paying interest in a sucker's game.

If you will Pre-qualify with lenders beforehand they may call upon you sooner.
