As to having an attorney, if you have one he is either an idiot or he's a weasel, I'll be happy to tell him that right to his computer screen if you can get him on here.

Pay them a flat fee to help you oversee the transaction and deal with the paperwork.Also remember that they are going to be sharing that fee with their broker.

Take potential tenant-buyers to a RMLO to get pre-screened to establish their ability to get financing in a reasonable amount of timeAs far as seasoning goes, my lender requires 12 months of being on title before they'll cash out refi, whether its leveraged or not.

Some people do well with second chances.Here is an excerpt from our screening criteria, which is more flexible than some....LEGAL/CRIMINAL HISTORY1.Criminal offenses (misdemeanor or felony) of a violent nature against either person or property will result in denial.2.Applicants with a non-violent criminal misdemeanor that occurred more than two years ago or a non-violent criminal felony that occurred more than five years ago may be considered if restitution for their crime was made in full and all time was served.Also, we may require an additional security deposit and demonstration of good employment history, credit history, and rental history since the time of the crime.Multiple offenses may result in denial regardless of what the employment, credit and rental history shows.

I've been using Va's for a flat fee to do bulk skip tracing

But in light of what I stated above, if I had to guess I'd say the market will stay pretty flat. 

Is the rental reference your only source of screening information?

I also know what to expect for flat roofs, parking lot resurfacings, etc.
