Anybody have trouble with this on the IPad, or is this operator error?

(Repair Costs)This is likely your greatest opportunity for error, considering your lack of practice.

This is what we have determined...The current amount owed to Chase on the property is 800K and strangely they are listed as a second lien to 1st Mariner which makes me certain that there is an error in the records because Chase believes they are first lien-holders.

Looks like that was an error.

To Bill's point, it IS a people business and that's why one of the most solid approaches used by most of the larger investors is direct mail to a well-defined set of target audiences - done CONSISTENTLY over time.Don't make the rookie mistake of blowing a bunch of money on 1 or 2 mailings and then bailing out (see this ALL the time).

A serious error.

Point too is that most RE types are not going to be qualified to vet qualified investors, if they error it's on them, if their CPA or attorney accepts that liability, you have two legs to stand on.My only other concern is that while these special rules flew threw under a jobs umbrella, RE investments are not real job makers, at least to the extent intended initially.

I agree with all of you I will just go ahead and pay what I would have paid the other landscaper. no more no less.I will also at this point forward separate any types of further arrangements.something just seems very insincere about waiting 5 months to ask me for back pay.If I had worked out an arrangement I would have done some quality control, inspections we would have talked about expectations and I would have held him accountable but it was my error and now I will have to pay. but I will no longer use him.

It will be trial and error for you in you market areas.I have had good luck with signs in front as well as online listings.Try using Postlets.com.

You didn't mention any called and asked you if you wanted to extend the lock for another fee, usually a sign the Lender is making the logistical errors for the origination because if a borrower caused the loan to take longer, you bet they get a call.Moral of the story, you have managed to get what you were offered, which is great and I commend the Lender for doing the right thing.
