Both will also teach you the basics of real estate investing, especially if you begin to work with a good investor.

The basic FHA mortgage insurance program is Mortgage Insurance for One- to Four-Family Homes (Section 203(b)).

I have often talked to investors at my reia that say they are experienced, yet they really have trouble explain the very basics of REI and how they make money.

Went to commercial lender on the second house which sits on a great lot (with court filed redrawn lot).

I also do some wholesaling, fix & flip, RTO, short sales, etc...basically whatever pays the bills.

If any loan is made in violation of that written policy it is basically a stike against them in following prudent lending practices even if it was a great loan, it's still in vilation of the way the bank said they would conduct business.

You can also do a lot of the screening for free by looking at your local court records online.Good Luck,Mike
