Arizona will send me a Quit Claim Deed when all the bidders on all the properties have paid up and my bid will officially be approved in a few weeks. 

We are finalizing location this week and happy to update post with this meeting.  

None of my mortgages are over 75K and I've had zero issues and no additional costs. definitely worth doingyou should look into seasoning, almost all banks are 6 months minimum. you can use delayed financing (which I recommend) but it will only allow you to pull out the funds you put in at HUD, so you'll have to pay for rehab at the time of closing. what this does is allow you to refi as soon as a tenant is in place. the whole process for me went from ~8 months to <12 weeks.

When it was our turn, we had the house rented out within a week for 25% more.

Then, at 18, one of my boys walked into Navy Federal a week after his 18th birthday and got a car loan for $6k and a $10k credit card because his credit score was 760.  

In couple of two weeks visits, I rehabbed it with the craigslist “proffies” for like 15K, which was not bad at the time.In retrospective, there were two things, which significantly reduced cash flow:the location- as excited first time “investor” I did not pay attention to numerous sump pumps (the house actually sinks in the swamp- not unusual in New England)the property manager- I had one great guy for the first four years (also found in craig).

Curious to know if any of you out there will be attending MHI next week.

Case-in-point: I just sold a property here in Baltimore, Md that sat on the market for 2 weeks with lots of views but no offers. 

Within the city of Austin and other local markets with limited inventory, homes are spending a fraction of time on the market—as little as two weeks in some areas.

Closing date is in one week.
