Possible First Deal - Need Advice
8 January 2014 | 1 reply
Toilets, tub, moulding, carpet.Needs new kitchen, room, rugs, spackle paint, driveway, 2 whole bathrooms and 1 bathroom updating.My concern is the two upstairs bathrooms have this gaudy italian tile which only certain people would like.I am thinking if I took the low comp, $425 *.70 that equals $297 - $100 in estimated repairs, that an offer of $200 is where I want to be.

Experience/tips working with HomePath?
2 February 2014 | 4 replies
Given that these properties are generally sold as-is and there won't be any repairs/fixes once after an inspection is run, I'm hoping there's some room to bring the price down.

My newbie mistake: error on HUD-1 settlement statement discovered 1 mo after closing - any chance of going back?
9 February 2014 | 11 replies
We've had escrow issues where mortgage wouldn't close without repair escrow, said we needed to produce receipts of repairs to get our funds returned, but then when proof given, the mortgage company wants escrow funds put toward balance on our loan instead of releasing our funds back to us (even though we'd already put 25% down).

I've Hit a Brick Wall with Leads, What Now?
13 January 2014 | 22 replies
Should be owner financed purchase, my money on the rehab, numbers in line (65%+/- less repairs) with low money costs on a $350k+ house.Back in the day I used to pull a lot off my newspaper ad, I imagine the web would be similar, but these days its pretty rare for the homeowner to have any equity around here, so the better deals are from banks, hedge funds, other investors, etc. so knowing people works better than letters and signs for me.
