This has basically been the defense of Cleveland from the local investors for a long time.

As a coach, when I was deciding whether to send or hold a runner rounding third base, I was aggressive. if the defense had to make a perfect play to throw the runner out, I would make them make the perfect play, as I was a finance major and I knew statistically I had a better chance of them screwing something up and my guy scoring than I did them making the perfect play.

If he regularly goes outside of them, then he can not raise them as a defense when needed.2.

QM loans have a presumption that the borrower has the ability to repay and thus it is difficult for them to use that as a defense to foreclosure.  

So if your building has less than 12 occupants, say, you might have a defensible case that this is conforming to 4-plex guidelines.I've seen a bunch of converted buildings that are operating as 5-plexes, but are legally 4-plexes.  

RE probably won't qualify as tools of a trade to be exempt from judgments.Quality of properties and management is the first defense, insurance is second, third comes any benefit, if any, by the business structure, after that you could be all alone. :)

stories there but I tend to avoid those for the most part.Running communities is hard in their defense but I agree it needs some work and the larger it gets the harder it is. 

Once in a while I get one of those calls but I am not defensive and in my first attempt to answer I gave complete scripts on how to convert even these calls.

On paper we probably have one of the best defenses in the nation.

It lowers the defenses and brings out the truth ... such as you seek ... is the seller really motivated.
