Remember the saying: "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" Without this program you'd have a 35K mortgage, with it you have a 15K mortgage but didn't use all of the money.

I do have small opportunity to partner with an absentee land owner to place 2 dozen + mobile homes (all need some love) on a rural property (empty horse farm).

And goats, sheep or horses.

It's a good idea to learn as you go forward, but make sure you don't put the cart in front of the horse and go waste other peoples time with hypothetical questions.And, I agree with what Dell said - don't worry about asking "silly" questions, especially on here.

One is an installment sale (the CFD) and a loan requires a security interest, as similar as a cow and a horse, no wait, those are too similar, as similar as a horse and an eagle.Use a deed of trust to perfect the security interest for a loan, nothing else. :)

Sort of cart before the horse.

Joe,I commend you for being willing to get back on that Investing Horse!

As one who is new to the subject, I see your point about putting the wagon before the horse.

They don't want to see you going to the horse track either.

Cheesy installs are the norm, proper sizing is a lost art, and *good* advice about efficiency is buried in a sea of marketing horse-****.
