The face value of it has gone down quite a bit the last year, but the dividend has added much of the losses back in.  

Thing to consider our...FHA fee is 1.85 %VA subsequent is 3.3% That is alot on 460k purchaseWhat I have to bring to the table is similar since VA is jumbo loan I will still need bring about 10k to the table since I need to guarantee the amount over 417k and with FHA I will need bring about 15k for down paymentsIf I use VA I have to refinance and see loss of $900 rental income.

Best of luck with your program.

Re Casa Finance is out of Columbus and has a solid program. 

Yes there is definitely a loss up front on the exchange rate (and getting worse) but there is then the upside on profits made in US dollars back to AU dollars :)CheersLindsay

Is this loan part of an FDIC loss share agreement?

CUT YOUR LOSSES and sell it off.

I met a retiree who told me she spent $55,000 on his program and it had been a year and she hadn't received her first deal.  

If I'm doing a lease option or lease purchase, I connect them with my credit repair program.

If you only have 20K invested and the bank has 80K, they will be more hesitant to foreclose on a house they have an 80K stake in, whereas if they only had a 20K stake in the house (you have an 80K stake) they will pull the trigger easier because it is less of a loss.
