Michael Lee I'm aware of not being able to bid without a certified check but can I get a certified check thou a mortgage broker for house being sold or no ? Is there any way to get around me having the money but if I wanted it for a loan ?

Christopher Blanco I'm trying to inquire the process of getting a foreclosed house for a live in residence, for me and my family but is there a whole process of going thou it and getting a mortgage on it later on ? Like getting a partner with the money to buy it then have him sell it to me for a mortgage ?

Hello BiggerPockets i ran into a serious question. I'm looking into buying a house within the next 8 months and i was wondering how i could either buy a foreclosed house or typical mortgage
Foreclosed : Today i went to a Sheriff's sale , and i was wondering if there is a way to buy a house at a foreclosure sale without having the 20% right there and then?
Mortgage : I know the different types of loans such as FHA loans and others but the main question i have about the mortgage aspect of it is how could/would be able to put multi people on the loan ? is there a limit ?

Mark A. You are semi correct I'm Looking for something called a Home Style Loan which would be able to actually pay for the loan for the house and also for the repairs . I've reached out to some lenders to figure this out . Now I don't know if you know anything about this but you think with a Home Style Loan I could buy it fix it up and flip it basically?

So hello BiggerPockets I have a serious question to ask I know they should be basic but still I want to clarify if I'm right and also if there's another method. So previously I posted up a question about how to finance a owner finance rehab, so the main question here if I get him to agree on her owner finance property through contracts of let's say $80,000 and rehab for it because he had a previously gutted is about $20,000 so in total for the whole house it's $100,000. That's including property itself as is and also rehab. Now here's the real question if I get him to agree on that can I get a mortgage for the hundred thousand dollars I will pay for the $20,000? And also pay him off for the house?

Mike S. I am aware that it could be possible flip. I know for sure he selling it due to the for sale by owner sign in the window I reached out to him a couple months before he even put that sign up he said he was going to just update it for a college rental. But I spoke to him on a regular basis or by weekly and he said he ran into other properties that were more prioritize than this one. If I approach them on the owner finance aspect of it, how would I pay for the rehab is what I'm trying to ask?
Is it possible if I do owner finance take out a personal loan of some sort and then put that into a mortgage if that makes sense?

Hello BiggerPockets forums, I need help on a couple of these questions if you have any tips or advice please help don't hesitate to comment or suggest a method on this.
So I'm going to reach out to a possible owner financed property, I've seen inside the property already it's a two bedroom full house offstreet parking. Now I want to obtain the property to live in but there's a dilemma. He started gutting already and also it's not much work new floors, new cabinets so on so forth. We're looking at about 10-15k in repairs.
So what are some tips to approach the owner with a owner finance contract? Also how would I be able to financially support updating what he had gutting. So please anything helps .
