I apologize for the delay in my own. 

I apologize.

My apology, I am not sure who I am replying to on this thread but for the past 15 years full time I have always funded my short sale purchases with a private lender. 

Thanks and appreciate it Apologies, didn't see this until now!

Apologies, I'm just starting with real estate, however if they're offering a guarantee, isn't that a good thing?

They apologized and told me buying the property would not affect buying the business. 

If you do not have the time to do that and just want to get into a home, that's ok too.It's a lot of what-if scenarios, so I apologize for the brevity.

I did not sign up, they never called me during my scheduled meeting time and then called me the next day to apologize. 

And my apologies to you trailer park folks, but you know what I mean 

Apologies if this drifted from the topic of the original post but I think Joe’s question drives to the reason that I don’t have an easy way to slowly build up the experience that I asked about initially.
