Weather became a challenge, Portland had a huge ice storm in January when all my plumbing and electrical was going in.

@Ted Akers  yes for instance this would not work well in WA with the excise tax of 1.78% or there about on title transfers.this was a low end deal in GA so it was a normal wholesaler approach I think the guy made 10k on the deal we made a few bucks and they absorbed the one closing costs and transfer tax which was probably nominal I would have to look at the hud.I can see this working in states were double escrows are not allowed any more... or if a wholesaler wanted to put to bed the thought that they are selling re without a license.. you know the wild wild west out there in that industry were basically anything goes   until it does not  LOL.I am NMLS mortgage banker sitting in the bullpen.. my license is on ICE but I do the CE.. just don't want to have to take the test again incase I want to jump back into doing HML.. so for right now taking title is a clear path.. no securities issues no licensing issues.. etc etc.. and 100% control. the only way I will do this these days.. but then again my clients are well known to me for more than a decade most of them and they are high volume flippers etc... so we have a lot going on...

multiple streams of income and not just one, for starters -- Robert Kiyosaki, Warren Buffet, snoop dog, vanilla ice rapper, Will Smith, Rockefeller family has multi generational wealth that the family will never have to worry about money.

I wasn't underwriting for equity because I felt that was icing on the cake.

Just give them the report that says 20-25 degrees is all it can do. lolAmazing that so few know that the north and south pole were at one time ice-less, and that glaciers created the Grand Canyon...

I have been waiting for someone on the BP forums to explain to me how a Wyoming LLC will stop a plaintiffs attorney from filing a claim against the deed holder when their client falls in front of your property because of a down tree or ice patch amongst the many other common claims a real estate owners encounter....and to this day  crickets.

Ice cream melts.

Are you glad to not be a brick of ice anymore?

So I get good mental exercise here, or try to, while getting some added REI "fix" and if I can get challenged that's just extra credit, as is learning something new is icing on the cake. 

Will they respond at 2am when the basement floods from the ice maker?
