I have a sneaking suspicion that each and every time, the borrower was told of the greater DP requirement after all contingencies were lifted. 

just remember ... numbers don't lie  and like Greg said "for the right price" but if its that high in meth, then you want to buy it so low in price that you can do a "total" rehab on property... got to be worth its weight in gold just remember investing is a turtle race.. take your time and buy right and buy smart

IE hard money, or private equity etc.I would consider risk weighted returns. 

This way when you quit, your DTI wouldn't have been affected enough to disqualify you.You might be able to get a commercial loan since those are weighted more towards your Rental income.  

Personally, I believe professional photographs are worth their weight in gold.

I don't maintain any illusion that the important factors begin and end with the Census data and the BLS data and the price trend.But I am totally inexperienced with RE investing, and I have no idea how to consider and weight the influence of the "soft" factors.

Also, find out if there is a weight limit for dogs in the community.

Returns are fantastic and my property manager does all of the heavy lifting.  

And with a value-add strategy, there is typically a large lift at the beginning of an investment cycle as the property is rehabbed and income is increased. 

Overall I like the new design - it's clean and I find it easy to read, but I'm on a Mac, which generally renders typography better than other computers.I can see how the 'add your comment' bubble could encourage people to post without fully reading first, but I love how the text entry box follows you when you scroll back up to refer to what someone else said.In the end, the dust will settle and everything will be fine, but maybe bump that type back up a weight :)
