Very true Ibrahim.This experience reinforced my notion to treat everyone with respect and honesty.

Because of my honesty and trustworthiness in the last 7 years in business, I have family and friends who have money that want to partner or invest with me.

I appreciate the honesty.

Should I push them back to the end of the line for their honesty?

I instantly imagined myself controlling a horse on the carriage with 2 ropes.Rick seem to be connecting the dots from both perspectives of creditors and from perspective of investors who creditors typically deal with when it comes to investors paying off first position lien or second mortgage liens, and stating that there are multiple ways of transferring deal using 2 strategies ... either using strategy of finalizing transaction to go through the final stages of probate (during either of the 3 stages) or buying off the lien judgement, depending not the equity...The probate concept of pre, open and closed state all have conditions that can be favorable or non favorable in relationship to you closing on the deal and getting it under contract.To be honest I am also a bit new to probate concept and tax liens and judgements and subject to types of acquisitions.All of this real estate Mumbo jumbo makes my head to be honest spin sideways.However, the multi dimensional factors and art of the deal from the standpoint of multiple variables and it’s inner dependencies indeed makes real estate investing quiet interesting endeavor to follow.As you dive deeper and deeper into variety of strategies... you gain compounded knowledge that in reality most certainly can be amazingly beneficial to folks who are interested in wanting to outgun their completion.In fact I would not be surprised at all with Rick stating that straddle play method of controlling the deals can outgun rehabbers using the power of negotiation.However... imagined if you can intersect the dots across multiple strategies and be able to rehab it... how cool would that be?

Honesty is the best policy!

Well to be honest I have a partner that's is helping with rehab.

Anyways, honesty is the best policy.
