., as the ones used by the banks, auction.com, etc......suck to high heaven.

Seventh,  Don't try to do it all yourself.

Heaven forbid something happens, if they owned it I would have to wait a year (I think) before proceeding with foreclosure on the property vs if I owned it, I could do whatever I wanted with the house and any point I so chose.Am I overlooking something here?

Ineichen (54 F.3d 425 (7th Cir. 1995)), the Seventh Circuit found a trial court’s jury instructions improper in implying that a hearing (or signal) dog needed training from a certified school.There are, admittedly, cases that have not been as accepting of non–service animals.

Alternately, if you are in a hot market, have no money, aren't willing to work your tail off, have no skills to add any real value, etc. then you should have no reasonable expectation of making any return at all, and if you do then it is probably coming via ill gotten ways.Wasn't there a Led Zeplin song with lyrics something like "...and he's buying an escalator to heaven"  Jay? 

It is worth keeping in mind that the Fed controls the short-term rates, not the long term ones (now that they stopped buying long term treasuries and even then it was indirectly), which are much more influenced by the long-term expectations of inflation and the international flow of money (think, is there instability in Russia that causes Russians to pull out their money out of the country and invest it in the safe-heaven like US, is the unpredictable and shifting US policy going to keep the US dollar's status as the de facto world currency, etc).

And for heaven's sake, never change this after you've struck a deal or nickel and dime your borrowers to death with junk fees.

It's like going to heaven and seeing God and seeing all of his kingdom.

@Ali Boone Barcelona is heaven on earth. 

If you arrange things in this manner, then a wife that is a high W2 earner could be a financial match made in heaven for a "real estate professional"!
