I am currently replacing carpeting with tile, hardwood, and this extra-hard vinyl strip floating flooring (I think it' called allure).Good carpet lasts a long time--- if tenants don't burn it, spill red koolaid on it, or rebuilt their Harley on it.

This is probably a question for an attorney but had a concept I haven't tried that I wanted to float by you - no portion of the rent going to the downpayment but upon execution of the purchase the tenant buyer is "rewarded" with a fixed figure downpayment?

Right now platinum / gold coins are difficult to trade because they are hard to move and floating will over $100 over spot.

Folks I have been doing this for30 Plus years and those pay forservices do not contain all of theforeclosures believe me I am that old grummpy guy down atrecords going thru every listing.And be careful some of theseservices you pay for the listingsare owned by RE investment firmswho take out some of the bestones get my drift...............yeahbelieve me I have seen it.You want the real stuff get ityourself..................when you areputting over $100k down on a auction better get it right from the Ole horses mouth ie countyrecords.SKI

I feel like I'm just kind of floating in a vast ocean of information at the moment.

Basically, all the major investment banks have engaged in credit default swaps which allow a buyer or ‘fixed rate’ party to make periodic payments to a ‘floating rate’ party in exchange for the ‘right’ to a payoff if there is a default or credit event in respect to a third party - called the reference entity.

There i was late at night calling my credit cards trying to raise my limit when it dawned on me that I wouldn't be able to float this amount around like they explained.

Pretty amazing to see it just floating there in the Hudson, in one piece just like in a movie.

Jon touched on this, I wanted to elaborate: The main reason is that the bank must be able to balance its fixed/floating assets and liabilities.For example, think of the bank's books when you take a loan.

If you took out a small biz credit card with 0% interest for 12 month in order to buy things for a start up and floated the balance until you start making income to pay it off does it hurt your credit rating?
