first thing you need to do is get the owners permission to enter the house. this can be done via email, snail mail or whatever. enter the house either with a key the owner has sent you or break in, provided you have the owners permission. the most important thing here is that the bank my have a vested intrest in the house. if it has been foreclosed on, the bank is the owner and the only owner. banks have been dropping their intrests in houses recently if it doesn;t make sense to hold on to it. when they do this, the usually file a release of lein with the county or register of deeds. if this has happened, the original owner now owns the place and you can buy directly from him. check things out first. good luck

They are not thinking about how that stolen item forces the shop owner to raise prices to cover the loss (which are paid by you) or to file an insurance claim to cover the loss- which leads to higher insurance rates for every shop in the area when insurance companies label it a crime area.

See http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/REISkills/file/contract-for-option-to-purchaseRight of First Refusal (ROFR) and Right of First Negotiation are preemptive rights to purchase specific real property at some future time upon certain defined terms and conditions.

I WOULD qualify, if they counted the $25,000-30,000 rental income the house produces, but I have heard from two companies they will not count rental income for owner occupant loans.Is this standard Fannie regulation?

Also check with the city to see if any new business license applications are being filed.

contractor for 15 years do the roof first that the area most water can come in and you want to stop it as soon as possible ,logic it rains from the sky so the top of the house will be the first to close up, window next but if there not some standard windows that take a few weeks to come in move to sidding use cheap ply or osb to cover into the windows come , time is money and you want to stop water before you put any finish items in.

From what I understand all liens/judgement must be filed at one of those government entity offices.

I’m not suggesting you only approach people you know (at first, we don’t personally know those we loan to), but if sending letters and postcards didn’t work, why would anyone spend time viewing a video or downloading a PDF file, Brian?

Usually if you use cash, they will make a copy of the actual deposit dollars for the file.

The contract was made official and filed with the county in February 2013.Now I would like to refinance, pay of the rest of the taxes, and get some cash out for some more remodeling.
