That said, even that combination cannot always rescue you from a bad purchase. 

Consumer Advisory: Long-term Home Ownership Concerns(Wholesaling/Assigning Transactions and Distressed Rescue Transactions).

While it may work in individual tenant circumstances, on the whole aiming for large amount of public assistance to rescue a complex isn't a sound strategy. 

for the past couple months while working on my fixer, on the sidelines had been dealing with alot of stray cats on the property (its a huge lot for the area) and 'catching' the feral cats and taking them to the shelter to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated then released and wished they were closer and so wonder why not get a shelter started in my city since theres none not even 1 that i could find after looking all over. heck even animal control is outsourced to the surrrounding city (long beach) and county (los angeles). of course wouldnt do it from my residence, so will need to start building credit up for occasionally ordering supplies and services (ie vaccines) for rescues in the future shelter, if this city allows for such. as for securing the shelter location i doubt i'd use mortgage or loan as i've so far always done fine enuf buying properties cash and somehow making ends meet, however barely.right now i dont even have a taxpayer EID. do non-profits need one?

Thus, aborting the short sale process and "rescuing" the homeowner who now has a buyer for his/her home for slightly more than today's prices so long as they are willing to wait three to five years for it.

And I got into a heated argument with them, and suddenly he went berserk, if the security guards hadn't hold him off and one of them didn't rescue me (literally swept me off my feet from the scene) I would've been punched.

HE has taken rents for over a year and paid nobody, ignored all communication attempts and we have now resorted to attorneys to try and rescue our clients money if we can.

In comes the private hard money lenders to the rescue (sort of).

I have friends that participate in pit bull rescue (homeowners, not renters), and I understand the problems they face, but I also have researched why insurance companies have breed restrictions, and the liability risk seems real enough for concern.  

They don't actually have any shelters or rescue any animals, or pass any money along to anyone who runs a shelter.
