Was wondering if there was any good and proven way to attract such individuals?

I also recognize that a 5-year timeline is arbitrary/improbable but I guess my goal is to be at a point where I can walk away from the job and still have a source of income and an outlet for work as soon as possible!

Both daughters held title until 2005 and transfered property into the mothers name so she could get a reverse mortgage.The mothers will, which was recognized by the court, gives the property back to the 2 daughters after her death.The problem:The husband, the person still living in the property, is claiming ownership and refusing to let the daughters into the property to collect their mothers person effects.

I would also say an experienced GC and recognize a lot of signs that can lead to those expenses and build them into their bids.

There are a number of companies that will provide lines of credit when you have a proven track record.  

It's nice that you recognize your father for his positive attributes: helping his mother and leaving real estate for his children.

This of course ALL depends on how  your state recognizes land trusts. 

Usually the properties sit on the market because the owner is unwilling to recognize their property isn't worth what they are asking.

I'm feeling a little uneasy about it now because i tried to log on and it said it didn't recognize my email.

A lot of "gurus" say that you don't need any, but this wonderful community has already proven that to be wrong.
