Hi all,I'm a young, Belgian building engineer, working as an expat in Switzerland.I recently bought my first small building with three apartments in Antwerp.After working in Switzerland, I want to find some flipping deals and safe up to invest in some more apartment buildings.I love the BP podcasts and am always willing to share knowledge about investing in Belgium.Regards, Lucas

Id like to partner up with an experienced commercial investor to possibly purchase apartment complex.

Hi everyone,Can anyone refer me to a structural engineer who can give me an assessment and an estimate on a tilted foundation issue?

If your just buying to hold onto a house ,you can network with investor experienced realtors to find you properties.

I actually have seen where portfolio lenders advertise using one property as down payment on another, but have not experienced this, and when I have spoken to their loan officers, generally do not get an answer on whether they would actually do it.More importantly, you will learn that even with a cash-out refi, you will likely not find anyone who will lend more than 70 - 75% of appraised value, and with the cost of the loan, it would likely not be worth it to you for the 10 - 15K you could potentially take out if you currently owe 60K on the 1st mortgage.  

Does that look like 8 layers to you more experienced folk?

Try asking an experienced color consultant at a paint store near your area.

Some companies have an overlay which requires more down. ( we require 20% down on Conventional Loans )Credit Score generally needs to be mid 600'sAlso most lenders require a structural Engineer's Cert as well as the affidavit of affixture. 

Wichita, KS)  and give me their experienced opinion on whether it would be a good deal for a flip.

I am very much looking forward to providing whatever advice I can to this great community and learning from it's many experienced members.
