I also need to shop around and see what the going rates are. 

@Clay SmithCall around to used appliance shops.  

Check check with a mortgage broker that can shop around loans and have access to several types of FHA programs.

Get your buyers criteria then go shopping for your buyers.RK

You can easily find these using Meetup.com and there appear to be dozens in the Boston area (click on the link).Shopping for loans like this online offers no assurance that these individuals are licensed in your area or even reside in this country.

A couple more ideas.VA loan (if eligible)USDA (if available in your area)Shop around brokers (some do 15% investment)

HI, i'm Robert lalum,i'm 51, no retirement and live payday to payday, i work about 50 to 60 hrs a week as a heavy equipment mechanic, and shop manager.

Hey All - I have been shopping around with lenders and wanted to get some others' opinions on this. 

 I may or may not have a down payment,  but the building I would like to purchase will be a great investment and profitable, I would like to make this building into a upscale rooming house with a beauty salon and coffee shop on the first floor, with at least 8 to 10 rooms,  the building has a parking lot,  price  is $175,000, but I am estimating the rehab to be about  $150,000 and to furnish it another  $150,000, is there anyone that can give me some advice on this project,  a contractor will be letting me know how much it will cost to rehab and the owner is willing to negotiate the price 

pick locations near schools, shopping, parkslook for blue collar neighborhoods invest up in family amenities; laundry lockable storageshun pools, saunas, barbecuesSo with these guidelines, I can market and buy MFUs which fit my plan and management style.YOUR THOUGHTS?
