Tim Brown Bought a 100 year old home - Looking at using for event space rental
30 May 2024 | 6 replies
I am currently tearing through videos and websites to try and gauge demand for such things.Oh, and I'm getting information together to see about rezoning as the property is currently R2 and for Event Space Rentals it needs to be B1 or B2.How can I go about gauging demand for small event spaces in the area ( I'm guessing the house occupancy at 40 )? 
Tom Jensen Whole Life Insurance as a Foundation for Real Estate Investing

I recently came across an INDEXED  UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY as far as i understand it, just recently became available to the general public (used to only be available for the already wealthy) that I purchased for myself through a business so its a tax write off. its Indexd meaning it goes up when the market goes up but stays even when the market goes down, (no losses in value)sure it might "only make" about 6-7% and you could potentially make more money in another investmet, but along with the Death Benefit there are also Living Benefits, for illness or injury, which is a great hedge in an event someone become incapacitated in any way their family is still taken care of financially. thats the "isnurance" part of it that pays out "incase"after I think 1-2 years of "loading it" it becomes very Liquid ..you can become your own personal Bank and borrow your investment from yourself, you`ll have to pay it back to yourself, but you again get the interest write off.at the end of your retirement when you end up taking out your money out as "loan to yourself" instead of a draw so it not Taxed as income , essentially "Tax Free" I also understand that banks when lending also count your insurance policys cash value as an asset.which could help with loans from themI was really impressed with how it was presented and was so far one of the best "off the shelf"  retirement investment vehicles (compared to say a Roth IRA) im sure i left a few things out but thats how i understand an indexed universal life insurance policyyou can also "load it" pretty heavily evey year compared something like a Roth Ira which only allows you to load a max of 6k a year?
Brett Dudley Advice on selling or continuing to rent

You could roll the dice and attempt a sale, just be careful if you let an inspection contingency offer be accepted, you open yourself up to having to go back on market in the event the buyer backs out or the renegotiation goes poorly.

Brittany P. Skip Recording CFD's?
31 May 2024 | 9 replies
Finally, in the event of default, as we work through the grace period we could get the deed recorded in our name before we sought a new buyer (if we couldn’t get the current buyer back on track).Obviously I’m getting the sense no one here’s a fan of skipping recording, I’m just wondering if these additional aspects change the calculus for you at all.
