Something that started with this a couple of years ago (my house on the right)Has turned into the removal of the fence separating the two properties (by the owner of the truck) which leaves me losing the foot of space between the privacy fence and the boundary fence.Mitigating circumstances - the guy that owns the truck has a history of violent crime (kidnapping, sexual assault on a child, assaulting a police officer, etc., etc.) and my interactions with him have resulted in schizophrenic ramblings (i.e. the Vatican owns my property, all financial transactions are routed through the city of London, etc.)I spoke with an attorney from this forum (a terrific help) earlier this week and I am weighing my options...the best being a 4 foot retaining wall along the property line with a 6 foot permitted fence to the front of the house. 

The guy is a truck driver and travels often.

I am a commercial truck driver going of two years now.

Alternatively, or in parallel, you can take some of your cash and invest w/experienced syndicators who do this all day long.  

Some that have license numbers on their trucks are more reliable than others that has only backpacks.

I don't know what kind of property you have in mind but you will be fairly limited on LTV and rates that isn't going to vary much from what you could get on Alternative Funding. 3) I would highly suggest you prepare for a purchase using whatever financing method, but then offering a NNN/option with the same amount being offered as a down payment.

Think how much you know about remodeling so far, whether you have tools, a truck, and how deep you can go (anyone can paint or clean but sheetrock, trims, windows, sewer line... electrical and plumbing often require permit).

Tax liens are another low-dollar asset in the alternative asset space, but the time invested in finding and acquiring good liens can be significant.

I've explored RentecDirect a little bit as an alternative.

Is this a dead deal now, or is there an alternative way around this?
