Seeking to learn as much as possible about real estate investing, specifically more about buy and hold and flip/rehab strategies.Began my real estate investing journey back in 2007 when I decided to quit my day job as a functional exercise and rehab specialist and be a full-time flipper.

With those there is no sale until the option is exercised.  

Whether you have bad or great credit, substantial liquidity or limited resources, any client willing to do their part, can comfortably break-in to the real estate market, if they will simply exercise patience and perseverance.A good real estate agent will know a solid finance person. 

Unless you gave this unknown party the authority to bind you to a contract, the fact that they exercised the contract has no binding impact on you. 

It might be a fool's exercise, but it's fun to me.

You'll find that is the best learning exercising.

A lender "may not exercise its option pursuant to a due-on-sale clause upon . . . a transfer to a relative resulting from the death of a borrower," according to the Garn-St.

However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by Applicable Law.What I think is bad is the "applicable law", what law would this be.

Dogs that make good security/protection dogs require a lot of exercise and care.

So not mortgage free, but it would still help.This is purely an exercise in thought process.
