cart before the horse.. then the money goes to the title company.unless this guy is making an unsecured personal loan to you.. and that would be quite rare .. here is how one scam goes.they say they sent you to much money please wire back the extra to me.. 

Need to escape the rat race.

Raising money is definitely and important talent but the cart should not be before the horse.

Hi @Hannah NobleNot to beat a dead horse here but I agree with everyone above.

Some day, we want to get out of the "Rat Race*" for sure.

Hi Ry,Once you know what you are doing in this business, the Horse Owners you know may want to come in on some deals with you as cash partners for a cut of the profit.Then you can ride the Real Estate Profits Horse rather than a Race Horse.Hang on to the contract info for your owners.

We had a horse barn and we mainly bailed hay.

And you aren't on the clock, racing against time to finish and get it listed or rented. 

Life is a bit different when you have a horse in the race.

I called my private banker (sidebar: switching to a private bank was the best business move I've made in years), he put me in touch with his mortgage guy, I got a great rate, low fees, we're off to the races.
