All of those would require me to FORCE someone to behave a certain way.

Those like myself and Rich who have actual experience in the field know the realities of this industry and how people behave when they file claims for payment by the insurance company and thus prefer the private market which maintains very large reserves while enjoying heavy profits of about 2.2%.

You should try to get some local advice, because HUD seems to behave differently in different areas.I'm a bit confused by what you wrote.

I then let them know that when I have properties that I will be having to move fast and I mass email the property specs and photos of my property to all of my buyers.

It looks like we will be having a meetup in Lisbon soon ...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/76/topics/658137-property-investment-in-portugal?

There are 26 homes I'll be having inspected tomorrow- mostly for chinese drywall.

Yes its a deal.The promissory note is for my private lender on a deal to deal basis, so not only does it have to be good but he will be having his attorney look at it.

I'll be having two really experienced real estate investors by my side every step of the way so I don't make those costly mistakes.

But as the parent of a less-than-saintly-behaved kid who's spent many nights trying to encourage appropriate behavior (tonight), laying awake worrying (Saturday night) and dealing with the legal system because of bad behavior, I really wonder if you've not put the screws to a mom who's doing her best with a bad situation.I'm all for having your perp work off their crimes.

I hope everyone reading this realizes that life is too short to let your dislike for one or several people to cause them to behave in a manner that they wouldn't normally or cause them to stop participating on a community that can be very good for their business.I hope we can try to move forward in 2011 and better ourselves and our businesses, instead of behaving like a bunch of high-school kids.Thanks for listening.
