to ad d a little color to the conversation I first started in the HML space in the mid 80s in SF bay Area as a CA RE broker.My dad had used HML or private money since the late 60s in Northern CA.in those days 70s and 80s most hard money or a lot of it was 80 10 10 on owner occ.. because you could not get more than 80% loan to buy a home ..

that I would turn into the FBI or the DA or the AG and of course the real estate commission

Ie, if your deal is "da bomb", you can afford to hold for a month or two while things get settled before renovating.

Probably, but police aren't going to take a report and no DA will care. 

Thanks, DA

@Da Zhang  I sold my last 2 personal homes FSBO.

Just remember if one thing doesn't work, just keep trying and always have a plan A, B, C, and D.   A

Those who do well would have a da Vinci.

To be honest with you mortgage company does not give a da**, they just want their payment. 

Welcome to da board ;)
