We have a court date on March 17 for forcible entry & detainer.

Band aid approach just does not work in real estate.Tenants = Our retirement treat them right.Alex

What you DON'T want to do is try and be sneaky, work with Lender A on Prop A and Lender B on Prop B, and then at the last minute after all contingencies have been removed, Lender B gets a ping saying you've suddenly got $400k in new undisclosed debt at the last minute. 

I'm closing on a fully renovated property on March 4th, and I have someone interested in moving in on March 7th for a short-term lease.

It was information I needed as the check came from his father in law, (went straight to the back on which it was written), but my only reply was asking if it would be straightened up by the first for March rent.

His company serves investors and may be a good fit for you.And who knows... maybe you guys can start a band.

At this point in my life I am eager to have more time and flexibility with my family while still (hopefully) providing a comfortable living and a pathway for passive income and retirement.I recently joined a local investor's group, signed up for R/E school (for educational purposes), which start in March and have read just about every piece of literature I can get my hands on as it relates to real estate investing and I still feel quite green.Throughout my professional career I have been blessed with amazing mentors and a strong belief in "paying it forward".  

So it's either a dump and you 203k it because no one else wants it thus giving you that opportunity, or it's not a dump and you maybe put a few cheap band-aids on it to make FHA happy and allow you to close, or you do conventional and come in with a substantive down payment.

Friday night we got a call from the listing agent saying that they accepted our offer and we are due to close on March 16th.
