What kind of bites me about this is that he gave a friend $50k to invest in his company and it went belly up in 8 months and my dad just says whoops but I have taken a little time on this house trying to increase the value way more than he wanted to and he calls me today and tells me to shove the house up my ***.

To juice up the return you might fix it up list it for sale and lease, try and lease it fast so you have some rents collected while you wait for it to sell.

My tenant used a battery jumper cable end and an alligator clamp to run juice from the overhead wires and around the electric meter.

Just sounds like the branch president is doing a CYA.They want to show they didn't let you run wild so if something imploded later they wouldn't be seen as grossly negligent.Employees and board of directors at banks worry about their jobs and facing criminal charges if a bank goes belly up down the road.The bank is demonstrating prudence.  

There are two "bellies" in the sewer lateral, and both are under the neighbor's lot.

Like for me I might run 10 million in a year through one title co.. so yes I can get them to override things if its realistic...But the average investor who does a few deals at most is not going to have that kind of juice out here..

If you have the juice to borrow from banks then your ahead of the game other wise your HML is your capital partner and you should look at them as such..

@Dave Salcido the creative juices are flowing now!

Many folks lost many many million so dollars investing in that city .. so you get painted with that brush unfortunately.. so that's why you need your local HML like me with a little pot belly my big cigar and I take a liking to you.. that's how it works

To date I have yet to meet a wholesaler in my area that has been successful and the auction block has been yielding a little more than prune juice.
