When those investors complain to you about how tough they have it - offer to take the troubling properties off their hands and see how they react to that.

Because as a young woman I had the body that people now pay plastic surgeons for [ they didnt back then] and was cute, and that was enough back then, I was able to marry and have kids and be happy.

OR, when your "gut" (or any other body part) is telling you to do something else... just do that, don't bother modifying the tree...  

Ryan - The White House banned the media from showing the caskets of American dead because people don't like to see dead bodies in war.

Thanks for the perspective.As for developing: 1) Make sure your money is solid (you don't want to run out midstream or if a delay occurs...and something always delays you)2) Get to know your local governing body (County Commissioners, Building Dept., etc)3) Don't overpay for the land.

A followup thought...All of the topics discussed on these forums are regulated by one government body or another.

I would diffenitly look at the specific area and how it is reacting.

Heading- $20000 / 3br - Investors wanted for 30K, 40K, & 50K houses Body- Dear investors, I have a number of properties in RI and the surrounding areas for investors.

thats why i have a real estate attorney, who, if you think about it, has as much or more on the line than i do. if it isn't a contract assignment or a double close, it's always been the lawyers idea of doing the deal this way and i would doubt any governing body would find objection to doing business like this as long as all parties involved know exactly whats going on (full disclosure), the funds are accounted for on the HUD1 form and the birddog isn't representing anyone in the deal, which they are not.shady, noillegal, not around herecreative, to bureacrats maybeyour other option - make the birddog assign a contract to you.

When you work in an industry that is considered a basic human right you need to be cognizant that people will react when they feel they are being screwed
