So, clearly offering advice should depend on the degree of expertise one commands in the subject, how such advice is reasonably expected to be relied upon and how it is valued by others.

This practice inflates net worth based on an opinion of value and can not be relied upon by any PRUDENT lender or investor.

No, but I know that Matt Rosen (BP member) is quite involved with it.

I spoke to an attorney last night NOT from the state the subject property was in who stated it had to be RE-foreclosed.The title attorney I'm working with in the state the subject property is in, is not going to be back for a week, so I think I'll have to wait.

It's simply not worth it.Sorry, this needs to be re-highlighted as maybe the most important advice ever to be passed on BP.Beyond that... working with banks is like working with the Government, do not expect it to be a logical process.

The wall runs the lengh of the home, ( down the middle ), so is that a load bering wall?

One member is going to be good enough to demonstrate actual authority to contract, so the lease should still be good. 

But you may also be relying on them as opposed to actually knowing your business.
