I would suggest finding a truly great deal instead of a very marginal one!

A stock broker will let you buy stock on margin.

They have become more and more scrutinized (a few bad apples) by the Boise City Council and so design and implementation has narrowed margins.

You can rest assured you and I will still have our investments "marked to market" each and every day, and we'll get a margin call the next day if the result isn't positive.

I occasionally run into some leads in the area.So, what' the margin on non-performing notes?

220k buying at 212k is slim.220k * .03 (commision) = 6.6k8k-6.6k = 1.4k - cost of marketing and legal/paper work fees.You'd be lucky to break even and thats if you get your ask.I think you need to focus on properties with more of a margin.

Having $100K in it and selling at $125K at least I won't lose my shirt, but this would be a marginal deal.

Accepting marginal deals is not a recipe for success.Good Luck,Mike

Check with them and ask about lock pricing.At least consider a 30 or 60 day lock with the condition of the current market on marginal loans, it's worth looking into.

At this margin....no one cares about credit.
