Lastly, I am not sure why you are attacking me on this website.

You are attacking your investments with the right attitude - not allowing emotion to get too involved.

Perry, this is exactly what BiggerPockets is perfect for, I'm not just saying to study the topics within the forums as a brush off, the steps to start really are listed multiple times in multiple threads, there are even threads and blogs of people documenting each step they took in their first and subsequent deals.Read these, Take notes, apply what you learn, be comfortable with the steps, and attack it!

If they go to the level of ad hominem attack, I'll call them out on it and claim victory in the debate.

Yes, cover you behind at least by fixing the fence, when that is done its in "natures hands" you can only be so prepared when a freak storm/attack will happen.

It may seem like silly nuance but there's a whole heap of bright attorneys accountants qualified intermediaries and investors who spend a great deal of their time working out how to demonstrate intent and craft appropriate scenarios in light of a vaguely worded statute and a strong but sparse audit attack rate.  

I don't know if you can attack the rights of the seller to encumber or the right of a lender to secure an interest, but I agree with @Jerry W.

The validity of a Trust can be attacked at that point and it may not survive.

For those of you who have been trying to contact me, my husband had a heart attack and  therefore, I have been "retired" for a few months (didn't feel like doing too much).  

If you end up with estate interest and need to probate double check how long a creditor has to file their claims from the DOD & when you open the probate because those family members will most likely attack the estate sooner or later.I'm sure I missed something here.
