They might look good on paper but the only time they might pan out is if you are local and hands on.

Planning is great - I never was good at that - words are easy to put down on paper - other people's ideas are fun to experiment with and can make someone new in this business feel good for awhile I guess.Over 40 years ago I can recall as if it were yesterday - I was where many of the new folks on this site are today - I was motivated to make money in real estate - had a giant desire to create a little success (the low pay awful job I had, and a jerk for a boss just wasn't cutting it  - but I had motivation - i discovered quickly that it takes more than motivation to pay the bills.So this one seminar I took the guru said "set a goal, build your team and find a mentor".OK - I set a goal to get rich in real estate - to buy one house a month and to quit my job.

Not sure if that's what happened, so I apologize if I am wrong.A friend of mine has reached out to me about RE and we still have to work out our strategy on paper and figure out exactly what we both will bring to the table to make this work.

Regardless, I would get a paper trail going and if nothing forms within 7-14 days go to an attorney to get the ball going; your attorney fees can be spread through the other homeowners so don't be afraid to spend a little money; like another post said, you MUST protect your investment.

I usually take paper applications first and then do the credit checks only if the references and such pass.

What this means is that no traditional mortgage company will finance the home as the 2nd lien holder so if you plan on refinancing or selling the home, you have to pay off the "program" to be able to do so.(3) Some of these "programs" have penalties attached for early pay off or transfer of loan to another.(4)  The interest rates on these "programs" for these loans are high as many of them do not use credit scores to qualify people seeking the loans.Finally, there was a recent news article in my local paper about the "HERO" program [one of the green programs] which warned about using the program for these very reasons:**Beth Mills, a spokeswoman for California Banking Association, said in a telephone interview that any program that makes homes more energy-efficient is valuable, but the financing structure is problematic.
