On its website, Wealth Educators claimed it was “America’s Leading Home Preservation Legal Services,” saying that they “. . . act on behalf of homeowners to work with your lender and avoid the lengthy and costly process of foreclosure and the stressful act of eviction that follows…”.Unfortunately, according to the complaint, while Wealth Educators told many consumers they could get them a loan modification, typically through a government-sponsored program, and even quoted a specific amount consumers’ mortgage payments would be reduced, the company often did not provide the promised relief services.

I'm wondering what to do with the cash flow: what is the best stategy for preserving my liquidity ?

File the cross-claim to preserve your interest in subject property and be known to the court.  

We get about 1650 a month in rent, it's a 2/1 in original 1950 condition (very well preserved, clean and minimally updated because I like the 50's tiles)  so rental income is limited due to the size.

People here are typically evaluating projects from a cost-first perspective and not from a custom work, historic preservation perspective. 

Our lead pipelines are:  MLS (Yes we still use the MLS for leads) Network of Property Finders (We pay for leads)  Network w/ other realtors/brokers sharing pocket & off market dealsWholesalers (I think we're on everyone's list)Preservation company relationship- The relationship sometimes gives us an inside trackDrive By- Don't do this very much any more but it's in the DNA to always be on the look out

So you know, my inclination would be to preserve the character and historic elements of a home, and not to destroy it.  

If you want to preserve the capital that you currently have, since you're planning on living in one side of the property, you use an FHA loan with 3% down.

Hi Oliver,I concur with Phil, having money locked up at 3.25% for 30 years is an asset in itself, so you'll want to preserve that, and if you can get money out with a home equity loan to buy one or two more, you'll have the best of both.You can try Clark County Credit Union for a home equity loan on non owner occupied at 80% LTV.Jean

Maybe it's a case where you preserve taxable funds when you have a lot of liquidity (could do transaction on your/its own) for later periods when you anticipate on not having that liquidity.
