Second is simulating - playing a game like monopoly.

After that I was estimating to refinance @ 5% interest, 20 year amortization.Again, this is something my analysis tool can't do yet - so I had to simulate this with 2 loans (one for 5 years and one for 25).

I don't know any buyers who are willing to have their funds "at risk" to close the front end transaction.In a typical simul closing, the C buyers funds are used on day 1 to fund the A-B, it is then recorded and that same day, the C funds also fund the B-C transaction, so their funds are not "at risk".I hope that made sense, it does in my head, not sure if the wording makes sense.

^ There is also a product called "fake TV" that simulates the flickering lights of a TV.Another problems with burglar bars is that I've heard they can be a liability issue if you rent the house (if there's a fire).If I see burglar bars on a lot of the houses in a neighborhood I generally scratch it off my buying list.

But then I would do a "paper trade" and use real examples and prices to put the hedge on and then create scenarios and prices in the future to simulate different outcomes.

Land Trust, LLC, Double Close with trans funding, Simul Close using end buyer's cash?

the $30 for a pro membership would allow you to work your calculations through the buy and hold calculator and simulate it six ways from Sunday.  

Here is a simulation: This property gets $225 in monthly cashflow Closing cost are covered by a PML on 42$ a month on 96 months (Miscellaneous).

That will not only let you track your score but it will also let you simulate the effects of different actions you might take to try to change your score.

Just looking for advice from anyone who has been in a similar simulation.
