Just for the sake of curiosity, are you following up with them to see if they are in fact selling their houses and at what price?

I haven't walked through it yet, so I put down $0 improvements so that is probably wrong be wrong.Couldn't figure out equity accrued.

Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to get where you're at with fortune builders?

Out of curiosity you mentioned you were in IT work, what does that entail exactly that has always confused me.

It is priced well below current asking prices in the neighborhood - at least $20k - which immediately caught my eye and raised my curiosity.

I can think of a couple of ways:1) Agreement with 2 payments dates (say 5th and 20th) and have late fees accrue from each date.2) Agreement with full payment due by the 20th ($50 higher), but violation of agreement would occur if 1/2 not paid by the 5th.Anybody else run into this scenario??

Just glad my curiosity of these things helps, after all knowledge is a thing to be shared!

I consider some of them, my mentors.So before jumping ahead and not knowing and understand fully what transpired (and justifying that by making a statement that's "ridiculous", simply staying with asking curiosity questions, or ask me to share an experience, you'll find out more information and all the pieces put together would perhaps make sense.Thanks,M

I can't respond specifically to Ohio law but in general interest accrues on the security deposit.

Try to close quickly on those, as tax penalties will continue to accrue until the closing date.It's unusual if there is a mortgage on the property for the taxes to not be current b/c if the homeowner does not pay them, the mortgage company will and then add them to the owner's mortgage.
