as for LOC warehouse lines prior to the GFC those were widely available.. now a days I think the chance of a start up getting one is remote at best unless the owners have monster balance sheets and are going to of course personally guarantee. hedge fund type companies out of NY entered the space when local community banks use to dominate it.. prior to the GFC I had 5 warehouse lines with banks Local to the Portland Or metro area..

Will those that own/control the AI/robotic resources be benevolent?

I try to see all of investment as a numbers game and manage from my head not my heart (with some exceptions, I'm not a monster).

bank statements sure thing.. and or maybe you get a monster security deposit and fisrt and last and maybe a month or two more.. stated income is stated income..

I hate condos, HOA fees eat returns like the cookie monster eats cookies, and you have no say about how they run the HOA.

So rather than just quitting, you should focus on how you might reallocate your time towards accomplishing your goals - whether that be building your business, maintaining your business, starting a new career, becoming a volunteer monster, etc. 

Frankly, you're better off buying a 2 bedroom and renting to 'masters' students or TA's.Getting involved with 5 people on a lease is a BIG time eating monster.

I have partnered with 2 other people, one of whom has more experience in this area and has particular interest in CA REO's.My initial experience has been that the 60 cent and lower REO, while discussed on other web sites by so many, is as elusive as the proverbial Loch Ness monster -- everyone talks about it, but nobody actually has it when push comes to shove, unless I want builder's closeouts on condos in FL or houses in Detroit.Several of you on this site seem experienced and successful in this area, and your post in particular caught my eye.

Since my sport of choice was full contact martial arts (Tae Kwon Do), ‘monster’ and ‘Neanderthal’ hung in for a little while.

From my experience, here is a safe process:1) ask for a cashier check for 1st month & deposit for the Move In to happen & avoid any issue2) mention in the lease the exact process in case of late fee, like:   - when payment is not received by due date + 1  this happens   - when payment is not received by due date + 2 this happens   3) Wires are much safer I use both venmo and direct bank transfer, I don't want mail issue BS...For your case, I would execute #2, you should act like a Robot, do not think, just execute the process.
