Perhaps you could recommend any investors that could facilitate this transaction.For the past three years I've successfully studied & been involved with over 400 various industries as a designer & marketing consultant.Currently, everywhere you look people are buying and flipping real estate.It seems everyone is buying a home, fixing it up a little, and selling it almost immediately for a sizeable profit.We read about it in newspapers, online, and there were even television shows based on flipping houses.The flipping real estate business model works great.But here’s the good news for you . . .that same business model works in many other areas.You can flip non real estate assets just as easily, maybe easier than flipping houses.You can also use leveraged buy out techniques to alternatively buy & hold already existing businesses similar to properties also.Through the use of transactional funding I've realized that I could borrow a $250,000 swing loan from a bank, give that to the seller in morning.That would make the business mine.Then in the afternoon I could take all the assets that are in the business that I just bought and raise $360,000 (80% of $440,0000) the same day from an asset-based lender.Then I could take $250,000 of the $360,000 and instantly repay the transactional loan.Then, I'll have a $110,000 cash windfall in my bank account, which I could now use to run the business and pay myself a big bonus.The double escrow basically enables someone to do this: I never touch the $250,000 of the down payment monies put into escrow by the lender.The asset-based lender never hands methe $360,000 check. 

I hope to have enough success to one day enable my wife to retire early from teaching (such an energy draining profession).

Newbie question - how could a wifi enabled water detector sensor in the basement that reports to your phone not have helped in this situation?

Bi-weekly rent would enable level-loading to help them through the month and paying all of their bills on time. 

Just recently they enabled tagging--which is awesome.The way I look at it is this:If it crashes, oh well I can rewrite the message I was in the middle of in like 30 seconds.Ponder this: if you are writing short stories on here, most people will be too lazy and will just gloss over them.

Basements are a key enabler for either one in Atlanta.
