Tina Jansen Hi welcome to bp, but from my experience with HUD homes liens have to be cleared prior to transfer of title, hope that helps

What do I need to present to a bank to get help refinancing What legal documents need to be generated before money can be transferred from investor?

Yeah the reoccurring auto debit bank account transfers is one huge key to scaling in my opinion.  

Read the documentation that comes with your merchant service account (yawn...)The way I have seen folks work this, however, is to charge a set amount of rent assuming that they will pay by credit card, then offer a discount for cash.Additionally, there are many services out there that charge a very small fee for bank to bank transfers.  

We turned our house into a rental when we were transferred.

Otherwise, it makes little sense - why not just use the rent to build a massive cash reserve, or transfer the funds into safe mutual funds in the 3-5% range, and pull them as needed to fund your "final" lifestyle? 

Of the two, Builders Risk is more expensive and only covers you when you are doing rehab, which means you need to transfer to a different type while waiting to sell. 

I still live at home, but will be moving out in 6 months or so as I transfer to a University.

I read an article today about China selling off its US treasuries and transferring to dollars.

Are the posts/threads/advice on this forum regarding the US market transferable and comparable to the UK market?
