Lonnie didn't make his fortune by watching football Sundays or wasting time on his day off.

That tells me that the buyer is in fantasy land.The odds of finding that deal and closing it and me getting paid is slim to none.Real brokers and agents aren't in the charity business.You might get a new agent to help a new investor and that can be the blind leading the blind.So is the buyer serious and realistic for the market is the key.There is a difference between a loser deal,marginal,good,great,and insane deal.If as an investor you can get into a good to great deal for an area you are realistic.If you are looking for an insane deal shotgunning all kinds of unrealistic offers you are not only wasting the broker/agents time but also yours as well.So do not always blame the broker/agent for not getting the deal you want.It could be you are unrealistic in your goals for the area.If investors are gobbling up properties at 50k and you want at 30k then you need to change to an area to find 30k properties or come up closer to 50k to compete.

Has anyone heard of any successful refi's through this program, or is it just another mortgage fantasy?

Is this just a fantasy?

May the best man win.Done and Done.As long as I'm picking the charity, let's go with The Alzheimer's Association (assuming you don't have any issues with that).I'm not even a pro football fan, but now I have a reason to watch the game!

Do what you know, make 5m, invest it in what you know then work for whatever cause you like.Maybe it's the weather that has caused all of these recent threads about fantasy incomes, money to start with, what would you do with X dollars.

Do this for the same reason there are pre-season games in football.

And if the govt decides to kill off all the incentives to make a living, we'll join John Galt in fantasy land.

Stelco steel left Hamilton a few years back and there were negotiations about building a professional football stadium for the Hamilton Tiger Cats.

(Current Assets, Earning Assets vs Current Liabilities and Depreciating Assets) So I guess the fantasy portion was rather expensive.
