Hcan i get a first time homebuyer loan for property in a flood plain?
Hi There, Great question. The only limitations to 1st time home buyer programs would be that if FEMA designates you in a flood plain, you are simply required to have flood insurance. If you have any other specific questions don't hesitate to call or shoot me an email. Thanks!-Chris...

Selling property for more than purchase price - problem getting a loan
First off, great question. There are anti-flipping laws but it more often only applies to FHA or Government insured loans.
