My wife and I bought an old fixer-upper in Southeast OH about a year and a half ago.

You have the upper hand.

Going back to your suggestion, I am moving on from the lender I posted about, if you see the first two replies; where the user's name goes in the upper left corner says that "account closed" The borrowers I have can put up 30% down and rehab property as most of them are in the "remodeling business.

Was a fixer-upper that my wife and I renovated ourselves over a two year period.

Under 10 min drive to Montclair State University, Upper Montclair NJ Transit station and close to route 3/garden state parkway intersection in a great kid-friendly neighborhood.With 4 bed and 1.5 bath the current layout is ideal for a family.

Instead of a fixer-upper, pick a quality property that is in or near move-in-ready condition.

Are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

I'll stay in the basement and rent the upper level

Instead of a fixer-upper, buy a property that needs little work.
