Commodities like gold and silver seem to be the choice of all of these preppers, we have over 50 pounds of this stuff and IMO not that handy except as to the appreciated value over the years.

That brings me to another concern, though, if I don't roll that money into another house, I will take an unwanted, possibley unecessary, tax hit....

By listing it though, I am able to bring value to an agent that could potentially bring me my next deal.For me, not using an agent would probably be "penny wise and pound foolish."

If a couple pounds of $50's is an option for you, I'd definitely go with that first.

You say "No", they say go pound sand and now you back to foreclosing.

I'm sure most will have at least a dash up to a few pounds of it, they have to keep interest up, no blame there, but does it tie into #2?

The creation of the CFPB has also added the 900 pound gorilla with PMS to the mix.

LOLYeah, i always get a kick out of the guys that show up on a peaceful evening on the steelhead stream with a canon on one hip and a five pound bowie knife on the other...

My issue is that I don't want to buy the property for cash and then have my end buyer change her mind and back out leaving me with an unwanted property and no cash.There will be contracts involved for both parties but what specifically should I do to protect myself so that I don't end up getting stuck in the mud.

My thinking is we want to free up as much cash as possible to eliminate any unwanted stress.
