IMO it’s getting easier. The markets are rebounding and in my area it’s a sellers market.

I have had all good experiences if it’s a family. They have always paid and taken care of the place. They are worried to get in trouble and risk being deported.

I have been away for several years and sold all my properties. I now feel the need to do it all again but with better properties. First place to start was with BP. Feels good to be back on a great site. I have a lot of catching up to do! 

Anybody from the Panama City FL area that would like to talk send me a request!

in your case I would have walked too. I personally wouldn't buy one with owner still living in it. They can take everything out and strip it to studs before giving possession and then your screwed. I only buy vacant or tenant occupied units. That's just me.

I have bought 3 on county auction site here in bay county florida. It's been a nervous experience but so far so good. I was watching a beach front condo and was ready to jump on it but the day before I spoke with HOA and found out the fees were 4 years behind and an assessment of 6k to boot. Roughly 30k total that would have to be paid on top of purchase price. Think God I did the research. I would have been crushed to find that out afterwards. They are scary deals and takes a gambler of sorts to get in. But the deals make it worth it. Example foreclosed at 158k assessment of 60K paid 13k.

How many financed properties do you have currently have?

Your first 4 will mortgages will be fine but after that you'll have to qualify for delayed financing. You'll need to own the home for less than 6 months as well as other guidelines to adhere to.

Since these are all 2 unit properties you max LTV on cash out is going to be 70% on the first four and anything under delayed financing you're going to need a 720 fico and max LTV is 65%

I hope this helps Sir.

Most lenders don't go under 50K for a loan amount so keep this in mind as well Sir.

Hey Shaun, I currently have a small loan on a flip house in tn. less than 30k. nothing else has a loan.
