@Derek Morrison,To buy a property in a 401k you need a non-recourse loan since as a "disqualified person" you are not allowed to provide a personal guarantee for the loan.

A character that the purchaser may have thought was guaranteed by the existing zoning. 

Plus, there is no guarantee they will issue the permits before closing. 

its guaranteed. 100% irrelevantHUD Does Not Pay Security Deposits Those that do not have the SD you are not renting to, it's all about screening.

I have not bought anything from them, but I see their deals all the time.Most of them way over priced.I think their model is buy dirt cheap, sell  very high and convince people by offering 3 years rent guarantee. 

I can almost guarantee it doesnt. 

We bought the place 4 years ago for about $1.3 million with a $650000 new first, 15 year at 4% fixed (btw, no personal guarantee on the loan because 50% LTV/LTC).

I am looking for a home inspection company in the DMV that guarantees their work.  

Know you could always to a guaranteed payment / consulting fee, but think he prefers having some sort of interest.Any thoughts about what is fair. would be appreciated.  

If you plan to have kids / pets etc just realize that what works today may not work a year or two years from now and there is no guarantee you can sell the house in the near future for a gain.
