It is a good low-risk strategy (you have to have somewhere to live anyway) if you keep in mind that you are fixing this to sell, not to live there yourself, but it is not for the faint of heart.

You could also draw more things in, but it's key to not sound like you're desperate for the opportunity.I also encourage working with extremely motivated sellers because many sellers have a heart of stone and are not willing to come down on numbers regardless. 

Such a wonderful, loving heart you undoubtedly have.

I think this is all fine and good and commendable what the issue is taking the 3k and not being able to close a loan i can see this as additional charge ONCE THE LOAN is closed and makes total sense.. its taking hte money up front and not returning it if you never close that's the heart burn. 

We have one nice house on a charming block right in the heart of what ten years ago was called "The Murder Triangle," which gives you sort of a feel for the change that has occurred. 

I have a huge heart and while I've trusted people and had regrets I still consider each applicant based on what I get out of the personal interview.People do run into financial problems and it is not always their fault.

Property management is not for the faint of heart. 

It's 1,700 square feet in the heart of the Treme on a good corner very close to the French Quarter and Louie Armstrong Park.

Hi @Lindsey Run It sounds as if your heart is in the right place.

These investments are not for the faint hearted.
