That is significantly shorter then say a negligent misrepresentation claim.I get these types of call on at least a weekly basis. 

I think it would work better as an active forced appreciation play shorter term than a passive cash flow play longer term.

I'm really trying to map out the shortest route possible but it seems there are no definite shorter routes.

Some times the loan terms are shorter as well.

However, my mortgage broker said I can't refi them for an equity pull because of Fannie Mae restrictions.She said I could refi them into a commercial loan, but I think my cash flow would greatly suffer because of a shorter amortization timeframe.

.  :(  I had to go in and rewrite it again... shorter this time.Thanks!

The shorter term deals like flipping are most benefited from hard money loans. 

I've paid more for shorter classes which I got less detailed info (And they weren't guru classes).  

Here's what I learned though about financing in Texas:1) A person (or LLC) can take a mortgage loan for up to 5 doors with terms of 30 years (one 4-plex would equal 4 doors)2) A commercial loan (though my LLC) has a shorter term (15 to 20 years) and take longer to process (up to 60 days)Any thoughts about this?

Do some of them have shorter interest free periods?
