I think most in this nation have fallen asleep at the wheel assuming that treasuries really are 100% guaranteed.

Especially in the beginning, you will personally guarantee everything, so your own personal credit is very important.I'm not sure how to use credit cards for down payments, but I don't think the banks would appreciate that.

a home purchase of $75K would command a down payment of $2625 in an FHA guaranteed loan. 

@Bryan Devitt, you are right, and the rent is guaranteed.

For example, you may increase the rent $25 per tenant on a four-plex which will give you a guaranteed $100 a month to cover the cost of the machine and/or utility use.

Guaranteed to be time well spent...Best of luck to you and I look forward to following your success on BP!

That depends on what your state or local laws say, but I can guarantee that 24 hours after you throw it out the tenant will be back and raising a fuss because you threw out all their precious heirlooms.

The 10% to my investor is guaranteed and after the refi, I would be paying 5.75% to the bank. 

,I'm currently getting a loan through Guaranteed Rate, which is requiring me to do a replacement cost homeowner's policy.

For most small businesses, lenders will require a personal guarantee from the members for any kind of loan.
