I told him that my debts are in US DOLLARS and the currency states that "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE".

The last thing I would want if I owned a resturant, would be formy waiters hitting my customers up for other business deals.One of the last people I would trust with my real estate investments would be someone who could not make a living in real estate and worked as a waiter at a resturant.....bar tender maybe...LOL!

If you work with a good agent that really knows their way around HUD deals there are a few loop holes of getting out of the deal even after you tender earnest money. 

It all started at the tender age of 16 , growing up with a passion for building .. building things bigger than myself.

I was also required to provide him with a "P & L" at the tender age of 18. 

In the mean time I'll be soaking up as much knowledge as i can here on the forums and through the podcasts and webinars to supplement what I read.As far as my experience with real-estate goes I got my license 3 years ago, at the tender age of 22.

Due diligence doesn't enter the picture until I'm trying to narrow down what has been tendered (or will be offered) and reconcile what's been represented with what I find to be the truth. 

Originally posted by @Che Chiu Wong:To further @Steve Babiak's point, if a prospective tenant dares to give you a bad check during application, you know that his/her rent checks in the future will bounce in the future (ie. bad tenant).Well, you would certainly be wise to disqualify an applicant that tendered a bad check.

I usually just tender separate cashier's checks with specific payment instructions because loan servicers hire payment processors with limited skills, low pay and few powers of discretion. 

 I thought that battery tenders in RV's needed to be powered for awhile to keep the batteries topped off.
