If anyone has ready Terry Goodkind's "The Faith and the Fallen" then all this "approval by X committee before going to Y committee, then Z committee, then pay a fee to each of them and wait a month" thing is eerily similar...

It just so happens I stumbled across this whole sale investment company, and I got involved...I was like a kid in a toy factory out of my mind with joy, it was like riding a bicycle on the phone making deals, going out looking at properties, building relationships with buyers, sellers, agents, brokers, ect... after, really my first month I knew I had to start my own company... however I stayed with the company for 7 months, and decided now was the time to do my own thing, I know the game, I also know I have so much more to learn, if I built a thriving wholesale investment company once before I can do it again.

@Bob Bowling Bob, you enjoy toying with people don't you?

Boats and toys, too.  

With an FHA loan you can do this with only 3.5% down. i think that if you are toying with the idea of buying a home, then it'd be a good idea to go ahead and work with a Lender, just to see what price home you can actually qualify for.

I have an awesome family play area.It is the lake and I provide water toys.

Is seller finance similar to subject to?  Yes

First they coat them with trash, crayons, playdough, spilled stuff, toys. 

So now we are toying with the idea of doing a lease with them, but we want to protect ourselves from "AirBnB" type bookings taking place.Does anyone have experience with this, and can you share some of your experiences and advice?

I knew many people who competed in the Water Safari and had toyed with the idea myself.
