Also on podcast #174 they interview @Dave Short.  

I have been in constant contact with the realtor/short sale specialist and they assure me on is going well.  

@Rick Santasiere and @Jonathan Makovsky, I'm trying to reconcile the language to make sure what I want to do is OK (short of talking to an attorney, which comes next).First, the statue Jon quotes includes the phrase "and for a fee, commission or other valuable consideration" as a prerequisite to the list of things a broker does (including collecting rent).

I am planning to close escrow on "B" and refinance it to pull some money out to buy "A" ( and since I may be short in cash bring on a silent partner on board).Eventually, I like to sell "B", and buy out my partner on"A", so would have "A" for myself.is this doable?

Now, I wouldn't be so short about that post if she didn't have "real estate mentor" in her signature line, that implies knowledge and experience, 17 years is long enough but if you're not current then much of that can be irrelevant, we get a lot of folks on here with guru knowledge based on folklore, just be more careful as to what you take in off the internet. :)@Jaylyn Heartso   First, what is "MMJ friendly"?

Oren K.This is really no different than the instance in other businesses where a client does not pay, or short pays, an invoice.  

@Shannon K. if the ARV is sufficient enough to cover your renovation and CC, then the short answer is yes.

Usually either a short term loan with goal of owning free and clear in 4-6 years (no cash flow, let the renters earn you a free and clear house quick) or a 20 year term allowing double digit cash on cash returns.

As a realtor, I look daily at all of the potential deals in my market from REO's, NOD's, Short Sales etc..to the 40 unit Multifamily listings available.

I replied after reading the rules but my short and simple reply was deleted!
