I'd fly in and get a flavor of the city.

As you seem to know, hard/private money lenders come in various flavors large and small and few are rigid in their criteria.

Your jurisdiction, the political flavor and social aspects that may influence a jury, past cases, types of exposures related to the business activity and ability of management.

I don't promote the 'daisy-chain' allowing those who can't find deals on their own to stick their hand in my or my investor's pockets and grab some of the action.Do yourself a flavor and go find your own deals so you can construct and present them in the manner that meets your specifications and you won't have any of these problems.

I work in different areas every day so with all these delicious food joints on every corner its tempting and expensive!

People, Bill has already had a post removed that had very dangerous suggestions, just because someone has ideas and makes it sound like the best thing since sliced bread doesn't mean it safe, ethical, prudent or legal.Bill, welcome to BP, but you might do some lurking and reading to get the flavor of this site.

That's also my bet as a good attorney wouldn't be suggesting what you have posted above, IMO.I suggest you not even get into Contract For Deeds, that will just blown off this site.Again, welcome to BP, might be a good idea to catch the flavor of this site before blasting in as an expert in any financing matter.

I'm like an ice cream addict at Baskin Robbins - I won't be satisfied until I try all 31 flavors. 

These are still valid arrangements.The quoted part above is in reference to a contract for deed, not a Sub-2.Not speaking of politics as an opinion of one side or another, but your local political flavor absolutely influences the way the bench leans in any area, meaning that in very pro business areas that favor landlords for example, a deed in lieu of foreclosure will be looked upon through those glasses.
