She opted, like many lottery winners do, to take the smaller lump sump payment up front, rather than the time and energy associated with taking payments over time (i.e. selling them off one by one at a higher "market" price)The appraiser didn't care and used comps from foreclosures, that had been flipped after being purchased, from 2-3 years ago.Appraiser, like anyone else, do things for unexplained reasons some times.

It is truly amazing to me that people will actually tell you something with a str8 face and know the whole time that what just came out of their mouth you are more likely to win the POWER BALL lottery then see what they said come to light! 

Permit issuance constraints/lottery, soft market, lack of const. loans or equity, condo defect liability (maybe more of a CA thing), or whatever else.

I won the lottery, funded all my initial projects.

You need money for marketing, you need it for an EMD.Yes it is possible to complete a wholesale deal with no money out of pocket, but that's also like seeing someone win a million dollar lottery and then conclude that you can do it too, let alone build a business that way.

They found a sufficient quantity of meth to qualify as intent to distribute, plus clothes, lottery tickets, soap, shampoo and other personal items.

So caution.. if you use them... make sure you have a for real deal.. plus their fee's are of course since its 100% financing at the very top of what HML cost.. one thing I like to recommend those looking for 100% financing is just get a money partner give them the lions share for them putting up the money.. you don't risk money and you start to build your experience and credentials then after a few you can go to a regular HML like lending home that will do 80% or 90% with only a modest 190.00 fee up front.also since you made this post you will probably get private messages from the scammers that work BP telling you your all approved but then just wanted you to send them 500.00 bucks etc.. to show your serious or some other bull crap... also facebook and linkdin are loaded with those crooks.. they are nothing but totally scammers they don't lend they have no money they just try to hook you for the small up front fee then will go dark on you... think lottery scams and other Jamacian and Nigerian prince scams.

I even heard of some investing in lottery winnings and/or sports athlete contracts before.

Lawsuits are treated like lottery tickets.

You have a better chance of winning the lottery and that is the truth.Find someone who has gone down the path you want to go (sell your business and retire with real estate) and then emulate them.
