Question How has financing changed since the recent mgt problems?

Is it still possible to finance homes up to 100% or 95%. I am reentering the business so be gentle.
Thanks in advance for any help.

We recently had a mortgage company come in as a guest speaker in one of our classes. From what I learned, 100% financing is VERY difficult. You can really only get it done FHA now, and even their standards are become more strict.

Apparently all the 2nd lien holders have gone belly up, or closed their doors? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

What market are you working in PDQ?

Sellers are yes. From my limited knowledge. My wife is an appraiser, and I am reentering the business.
