- actually, we started out with the notion that the seller might be willing and able to carry some debt.  

But thank you for bringing that notion up, so I could shoot it out of the sky like a duck flying directly towards me.They got paid more for originating sh-ttier loans with "features" that screwed the consumer.

I find it strange that some read "the sum of the parts is greater than the whole" to mean as an investor (or even a home owner) we have to win in every aspect of ownership or 'the sky is falling' starts to occur.One of the BIGGEST mistakes foisted upon the baby boomers was the notion that your home is an investment. 

@ronda Eldridge I'm starting toget that notion!

I spoke with a family member (a Realtor) and he grimmest at the notion.

It seems you have a preconceived notion already.I agree with @Bob Malecki, you only have enough capital for one loan.  

It seems like it would be a waste trying to create in a different state unless you had some grander notions of asset protection or identity secrecy.

This notion came from looking at the numbers we are used to here in Switzerland.

Get over the credit pull phobia; the notion that credit pulls destroy your credit was made up so dumb baby boomers would stop getting a new Macy's card (and $3,000 more in debt!) 

Most people have a false notion that turnkey is totally passive.
