My credit score is crap, somewhere around 520.

They offer me full financing and talk the bank into combining the Camry loan with the highlanders so instead of paying two car loans that I can't afford I'm now only paying one loan for a little over $10000 at less than $200 hundred a month, and the dealer decided to take my $2000 down payment and applies it directly to the loan reducing me to $8000.

For a 2-4 unit property you will need a minimum of 25% down for (most) conventional financing (20% for SFR's) this will have to be sourced and seasoned for 60 days, your max CLTV (Combined Loan To Value) will be 75%.What does this mean? 

I have loved ones that have been scammed and its from their experiences that I have learned....and this is the reason for this very post.....To remind people of the dangers of doing business without proper due diligence....as far as the texts....well ....Ive been having fun buggin' the crap out of this con job...hopefully i bug him/her enough that they ditch that number or make them stop trying to dupe others....

I found a way to combine my hobbies of investing, passion for finance, and interest in RE all in one place.
