MarketMessage: The more heavily it screens sellers the fewer calls you get.

The average loan processor is not very sophisticated so lenders reduce the complexity by screening out complex deals.Seasoning is a business decision and not a legal requirement.Lenders who have little to no seasoning before they will lend on the appraised value generally use other techniques to manage the risks.

If it works in the bath but not in the sink it might be a clogged aerator in your sink (that's the screw on screen) or even possibly a sink component.

I own and manage a rental unit in the duplex that I also reside in, and have always been very careful in screening my potential tenants.

Worth area is a futile move.Granted, a good percentage of people do it FSBO because they simply don't have sufficient equity in the property to cover the 6% Realtor fee's but, as I teach/preach in my classes...

The $900 rent covers the 5.3% interest rate I pay for my mortgage, the $360 monthly maintenance fee, plus RP tax and insurance.

I remember one episode where the owners (a husband and wife) couldn't get their asking price, didn't have room to come down because of how tight the numbers were, and ended up putting the house up for rent and having the wife go back to work so they could cover the payments on this house.

If we leave one unit open for ourselves, the rent will still cover it even if we only have two tenants.

Initially I was thinking you could cover the whole cost of the new place with the HELOC, but that doesn't work out unless you use both your home HELOC and the other property HELOC.

The Title Company will give you $13,000 @ close to cover ANY shortfall in rental income vs. mortgage pymt.
