Awesome another reason why I love this site thanks guys got my 50 handwritten envelopes done yesterday now paying a friend to write 100 for me should have 200 letters sent out Friday waiting on my printer oh and another call today from someone who got my letter a month ago didn't want to sell now but just put me in a great mood!!

He seems to have mood swings and I had to stop him from making small repairs a bigger deal that they are.

A truck I think I learned on here is to call a friend and have a few laughs and then once you hang up immediately dial the lead and then you will be in a better mood to talk and hopefully help the conversation flow better.

White comes in 10000 shades, trim, floor, exterior, mood, room, available light all are part of paint choices.

The mood was a lot of doom and gloom among MF folks with paused pref's and lingering capital calls. 

Then 1031 into safer more passive instruments and stay there until you pass and let your heirs benefit from the step up basis.Do you want to step back but be ready to play again if the mood strikes - not because you have to but because it's fun?  

I certainly do not do repairs on rentals (other than my own when I am in the mood) for other investors.

Basically HUD is saying they would be comfortable insuring this loan from the lender if these "IE Repair Escrow" items are fixed.Therefor if you are buying the property as an investor w/ (conventional financing or cash) those items are a "mood point", but again as Greg mentioned you defiantly want to check w/ your lender and see what their specific requirements are for financing investment properties in need of repairs and if they will fund the repairs.We have purchased HUD properties in the past and used "private / hard money" loans to buy the property and make the necessary repairs, then from that point we refinance w/ a traditional lender.

my minimum is two or three nights, depending on the season and my mood.

Well Brandon, I'm going to assume that you aren't just in the mood to be helpful at all.
