Went from an 800 to 500 credit score as I paid off/transferred all of my partners/gfs debt including auto loan over to my name to position her to borrow heavily to gain access to as much cash as possible to get us up and running.

Even during the crazy pandemic year that saw other markets go up 15%, DC was steady at just above its average at 7%  4.99% is quite precise.

There are plenty of "creative finance deals" done by people that really don't know any better, that by not recording the deed transfer, think they are somehow being clever.

I like when newbie "trust" someone in the world promising 'em 43k in two years without lifting finger.this is the precisely why people losing money very fast.

You should be provided with a HUD sheet that breaks down all the expenses / credits on it, before the closing, you will have to pay county and state tax, filing fees, transfer tax, etc. 

You may be able to transfer your purchase option to another person, but that would need to be spelled out in your purchase option agreement, and you likely need the current owner's agreement to accept the sub-lessor as the transferee.You need legal advice here which I am not qualified to give.

The first person gave me a 200$ deposit via e-transfer after I told her we accepted her application.

I would like to be able to transfer her old 401K to our Solo 401K, so it would be worth including her officially in the business at least for that.  

I plan to move back to the West Coast (San Diego) for my next tour and would love to meet some local PC investors to partner with so I can continue investing in this area when I transfer.

I'm going to be transferring to northern California in a year so I was hoping to begin working right away in order to supplement my living expenses while I move onto a university.
