Requiring a Notice of Transaction to be filed or face a fine and suggesting limitations of total indebtedness.

I've always felt somewhat drawn to real estate ever since I was very young and am not ashamed to say that at age 7 or 8 I would watch the early morning infomercials with fascination as I saw how easy it was to build your net worth with NO MONEY DOWN and just hours a week.I have a fairly robust background in investing given that my current job requires it, an undergraduate degree in a finance and the beginnings of a CFA charter, so at very least I have a cursory understanding of RE finance, especially from a numbers point of view.

My last bit in the Army was as a Finance Officer. :) .

@Darren Sager Its true you needs to learn the "Rules" Like the 50% and 70% rules but those are just guidelines used to do preliminary analyzation, they are by no means meant to make a final decisions.Im actually suggesting you get a detailed spreadsheet and learn how to work it, by doing so you will force yourself to learn a ton.

Not really, I thought you said you were a nerd, LOL, weighted averages of interest rate as a % of the amount used in the total amounts financed, 60% @ 9.5%, 40% @ 9.00 = 9.30% (I think if I remembered the last factor, lol)Not sure you are understanding the concepts to apply, it is a finance/economic nerd subject, I'm still having coffee too.I suggest folks take the time to study finance and economic theory as to the applicability of financial ratios before using or applying them based on definitions of any one ratio.

I am going to be walking a fine line for the next few years between growth and cash flow.

I think it is a fine line that we often stumble across, making mistakes on both sides.

Heading into a foreclosure, sound you have their expertise but a trustee/foreclosure attorney isn't necessarily a finance type.

our market has not been influenced by cremation as the rest of the country has. even if a family chooses cremation as a final disposition they still want a final "viewing"....we embalm any body that gets viewed because there is usally a 3-4 day window from the date of death until the actual service.

First a letter, then 2 postcards, another letter, 2 more postcards, then a final letter.
