What could also happen is the shift changes how the roof structure is bearing down on the rest of the house.You have to first see what is happening under there.

Maybe you should consider shifting gears and playing to your strengths...

Although I will not be able to make it (working a double shift today) it is great to know there are networking opportunities.

The barricades down at the end of the street over the gaping hole in the sidewalk, locator markings on the pavement there and lack of anyone parked on that section of the street would lead me to think that they may be there for traffic control or to assist in setting up a lane shift for some emergency construction in the area since it appears the hole in the sidewalk is a collapse not a planned repair.

I was just having a conversation with a business partner of mine about Montgomery County and some of the demographic and educational shifts over the past few years.

It is a bit overly convoluted but if the lender is comfortable with that they should be willing to say they would do the refinance once the all the shifting around takes place.Also keep in mind, you may have to pay transfer taxes each and every time you move the title around like that.

In many markets around the country the cycles have shifted and no money down type arrangements have dried up.

So it seems clear that a LC is quite a bit less liquid than a house, and that is a considerable negative to for an investor who chooses to sell on LC rather than keep the house as a rental.Investors that I'm familiar with who sell on LC, do so rather than keep as a straight rental, to shift the maintenance burden to the buyer, rid themselves of typical landlord obligations and tenant calls, get a down payment that is more than a security deposit, and get a stickier tenant/buyer who makes improvements and has emotional connection to the house and thus will stay long term, maybe even pay off the place eventually.
