I am researching properties and am curious exactly what I should do to approach someone to fund the loan.  

Greetings BP,I'm not giving any advice here, legal or otherwise, just sharing a reminder / FYI as October 3rd rapidly approaches, which is when the new TILA-RESPA amendments goes into effect.

Hi William, I was recently approached by a rep/agent for AT&T in Oregon to place a tower on my property and have a site visit scheduled in the next few days.

I want to be educated and prudent in my approach.

Is it best to approach the property management companies or owners directly?

How do you approach this when it to a lender?

I think we are approaching another peak in prices if we haven't already.

If you want to try renting it out for a while to capture some more equity build then keep an eye on the calendar so you can still consummate your sale so that you have lived in the house for 2 out of the previous 5 years (in other words don't own it more than 3 years after you move out).Many investors work hard to go the other direction and convert investment real estate into their primary residences for the incredible tax break.Couple this strategy with 1031 exchanges on your investment real estate and you will enjoy some nicely enhanced returns.

The "how to" approach implies an education, but it is not usually.

But many cannot start off there - some can - most can't.I have read most of the posts that Bob has made here on the site and it appears that Bob has been the beneficiary of riding an incredible wave of appreciation on the west coast and in Hawaii.
