"guarantee is not waived due to any modification, amendment or alteration of the lease whatsoever". 

In your area, I particularly like the FIBI Pasadena club as well as the LAREIA in Arcadia, but there are many others slightly further from you including FIBI Manhattan Beach and FIBI Long Beach, which are also good and with no sales pitches allowed whatsoever.

Hahaha @Serge S. is lying through his teeth :)People - stay away from C Class. 

I declined because Id didnt want to rush into selling it without any knowledge whatsoever.

By offering a no interest loan, the seller has "no interest" whatsoever in carrying a loan for free over any length of time.

Contract law can have real teeth and being sued for specific performance could be compounded if the seller has other actual damages.A law professor once told me "We can't make you buy the house, but we can make you wish you had."

I pay a little bit of a higher rate (30%) than your traditional large shops, but I pay no other fees whatsoever outside of E&O insurance.

susan, thanks for the replyive never heard of this possibility before- so bare with me...if i could find this "MONEY MAN" and got a loan on the from him for the repairs and down payment (hopefully a 10% down investor loan)...we'd be talking around $40K...this $40K loan could be interest only at say 10%...also the deal would include 50% appreciation to the "money man"...so basically this money man gets 10% return on his $$ plus 50% of any future appreciationthis "money man" would have no responsibility whatsoever...i would do all proprery management, dealing w/ contractors, screening tenants, dealing w/ tenants etc...i would also retain any and all of the cash flowhow does this sound?...

You said "present" a deal, not analyize a deal.I realize that we all have gotten caught up in the digital world to some extent, younger people seem tobe addicted, if there were an app to brush thier teeth they probably try to use it.Presentations take on different flavors depending on the complexity and size of the deal.

I'm pulling teeth with citibank right now.
