Okay, maybe it is cause I am getting older (67), but I do not want to be a test case.
I don't fault anyone for not wanting to be a test case. The government likes to make examples out of pioneers and slap them down hard.
Having said that, if my livelihood depended on things DF was trying to shut down I would do what I needed to do to find a way to make sure a valid exclusion applied to all of my deals. I'd find an attorney who could make the case and I would have no problem being a test case.
If I needed to get around DF, I'd find an attorney who could do it even if I had to adjust my deals to fit into an exclusion.
My livelihood does not depend on DF, at this point. My friend and attorney recently passed away, and I am still interviewing attorneys. My first question deals with their experience in buying/selling notes. The second is about DF. At least for now, I am going to engage the services of a licensed mortgage originator for all, SFR owner occupied, sales on which I want to carry the paper.
Thank you for your advice, Judge.
