@Joseph Scorese, I am not familiar with all of the rules on FNMA 10 but for those lenders that might not use it as a guide, have you seen anyone be able to cash out refinance before 6 months?

Have you read through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide?

Check out the REI Resources and the Ultimate Guide to Real Estate!

Make sure to read the Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing

@Jem Jacala use this guide as there is a lot of useful information here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/2...Don't just focus on the score as you want to review the history, late payments, number of lines open, etc.

I would buy "The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings" by Steve Berges.
