Hello All! No one seems to be able to answer this questions. Let’s say you have a minimum credit score of 600 to rent a home. A couple or two friends decide to apply. In this situation, one has over the 600 credit sco...

Either way, everything (acceptable CoC and % of LTV) really depends on what investors are currently doing in your market.

The base lender fees for credit report, tax service, processing and appraisal fee amount to about $1800+/- before paying points to discount the rate OR  accepting a higher rate to get a lender rebate to pay some/all or these costs.

What is more disturbing is it seems like that kind of remark had some sense of acceptance or normality.

Ok, so if i accept this liability i would want to make money for this potential risk.

San Mateo county, alameda county, Santa Clara county, those counties are the core of Bay Area market that I invest in. pier and beam is good, as long as they are accepted by local building department, particularly for sloped lots.sounds promising.Originally posted by @William B.

I don’t know what companies are in that area, but I’d encourage you to call a handful of them and ask about cleaning and handyman services exclusively.

@Ivan Aldana I agree with Theresa, but I also think there are some creative ways to purchase properties. 1) Use credit cards to make your downpayment.2) Seller Financing - I totally understand right now is hard to even get an offer accepted, but something to think about it to find a real estate agent in your town and have them run a report on a neighborhood you like.

IMHO adjust your expectations, accept you can’t afford to live on the mountain, find the next best thing, and focus on that.
