Hi Rich,You're not too far from CCIA which is Chicago's largest, longest running and easily most respected club.

If I place a lien on my own homes ( res and rental), in my own name, for the full market value, will those liens protect me from other liens except possibly mortgage co, if they are first and largest?

I own some recreational hunting land and recently got out of a condo purchase agreement in Colorado.

I closed my first multifamily syndicated purchase this week (24 unit, 7 yr old high quality condos in Des Moines),but, my second deal fell through because the largest investor pulled out at a late stage and I didn't have a backup investor so couldn't get to closing.

If your goal is to buy more property, I would take the 1st loan.That's going to be the cheapest and largest loan you'll be able to get, unless you intend on continuously moving primary residences.

I have only done one deal and that was through a wholesaler, so I can't tell you from experience, but from reading a lot here and elsewhere, it appears the largest margins are usually (not always) made outside the MLS.

Hey Donna - I assume you belong to different REIA organizations there in San Diego and hopefully you belong to the largest REIA in that area.

Largest town is 25000.

However, I think shelter/housing is always going to take up the largest percentage of earned income.

It seems that turnkey sellers are sprouting like mushrooms, not unexpected giving all the distressed inventory being snapped up.Current practice by the largest turnkey sellers strikes me as questionable.
