Turns out the aggressive cop was drunk and thought he was just shooting a random citizen, not another cop...the trial started today in my area: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22965019/ Luckily the other officer acted heroically, took his job seriously and was willing to risk his life to save the woman from the drunk idiot cop.

There are some NEW loan programs out that I may not be familiar with, since to date there are hundreds of variations.

Having said that, there are very few true hard money lenders around.There are as many variations on terms and conditions as there are hard money lenders.

I don't and didn't really have too much money so I bought a 1000 name list from listsource.com and imported my list to a free trial program im trying called freedomsoft. ( I like alot )I printed out over a 1000 letters and am still stuffing and writing envelopes out today with the wife and the lil one putting stamps on.

Hello,We just found out that our landlord has been fighting the bank in the house we have been renting the past several months and even though he told us everything is Ok, we just found out that the UD trial is set against him (US Bank) and the bank is expected to win.

But I would not regard such a one-project investor as a person engaged in the business of flipping.The fundamental economic issue is of variation in ROI.

The 10% monthly is very standard, but the up front and re-list fees are where you will see the most variation; most being 100% of first months rent. 

This was an 8 or 12 unit complex and tenants all sued landlord for losing their possessions due to the fire.  3) several cases where the landlord or seller was sued for property code violations under the deceptive trade practices act and the carrier denied coverage as the allegation was of an "intentional act".4) Insurance won't cover breach of contract claims typically, say you get into a dispute with a contractor the insurance isn't going to cover it but are you going to see it through to trial when your personal assets are at risk in the event you're wrong. 5)Not real estate related but I had another case where I represented one of two partners who were sued for a business deal gone bad.

I did this as a trial to see how a turn key property deal was like.

There are so many variations on how NOI is calculated and it makes a big difference in the resulting calculation of cap rate and/or price/value.
