@Steve Babiak , sorry lit major by training. can't shed off the rhetoric

However what I meant to convey was that obtaining a market value doesn't hold much weight when I'm determining my purchase price.

They are worth their weight in GOLD.

Just a heads up for the love of flips once a month I go to the court house steps and buy up 5-6 homes for the back taxes as they come up on the auction block useally pick up a 50k-75k home for about 3-8k with a rehab job ahead of us but put 20k into it and grab 15-30k and hope to flip within 30 days there were some big loosers but they dont out weight the winners. if anyone wants a rehab check list excel form that is just great I will gladly give it free to any who wants it or someone tell me where i can post it for all to have it great tool.

That shed's great light on what I was evaluating.

Lower credit scores opens the market pulling up the slack from the alternatives that were closed before.Since Dodd-Frank refers to conventional guidelines for qualifying standards, lower credit scores opens those qualifying restrictions as well.Clearly, after the bubble, there are investors willing to take additional risks for higher yields on otherwise well originated mortgages.There may also me the implication that the credit scores alone have two issues, 1. they may have become less relevant as the scoring system is weighted from more than just credit histories, age, education, employment history, location, homeownership and other factors can be filtered into obligations paid, 2. credit scores may be out of line in relation to mortgage default rates accurately relating to mortgage financing.

And some lucky kids will have him as a silly Dad someday.As someone who never planned on having kids, it's been a very entertaining and rewarding journey thus far, despite the weight of the responsibility {they absorb everything we say and do}.Our little guy loves to walk properties and learned the association between a house and realtor sign very young - though he thinks he can stop and "visit" one of these houses whenever he chooses.I am currently working on a deal to acquire an apartment building and trying to find solutions that reduce the Vendors tax liability, so there have been lots of spreadsheets open on the computer monitor recently.
