What I'm trying to work out now is which is the best person to borrow the money from my U.S relative or European friend.

And then we have the wild card of currency debasement, the European crisis (which ain't going away people) and the fact that recessions cycle about every 6 years.

Most major lenders and GSE's are now using this language in their documents (such as the Well's Fargo and BOA Affidavits).2)As far as Watson being a so called guru I don’t know about that but he is however nationally known as one of the best short sale lawyers around and routinely called upon buy title companies for legal advice and guidance when it comes to properly closing these transactions.

Lastly I comb through Craigslist for most major appliances, equipment or material I can use on the properties.

Forget politics, if there is a recession next year it will be due to a slowing Chinese economy and chaos in the European Union.
