Rich,I love your comment.While some things in life can be difficult, I believe that the majority (not everyone) tends to over-complicate things these days.I am not suggesting that anybody take action that is foolish or unfounded, but people spend more effort and attention on finding faults, disproving, or criticizing and complicating things, rather than focusing on the simply underlying factors that are important and matter most.Is that your book?

Information is the first step in the process.The rules are too complicated for me to sort out but what my legal master mind group tells me is that the lenders are full of sh-- and they can make no such stipulation that is binding.First, in a short sale they are not the owners so are not able to use any of the exceptions to the "prohibition against restraints on alienation" (this is legal mumbo jumbo for "I say you can't sell it after you buy it")As a lender they may be able to provide funding under certain conditions but in a short sale they are not the lender either.This does get more complicated when Fannie or Freddie or the short sale investor but the rules still apply.Second, many investors mistakenly don't put this up front in their contracts, (I only just learned this technique myself from people I met on this website).see below.."

Its hard to order cabinets at all and the on line sites are very complicated.

The first amendment only prohibits the Congress from "censoring" your speech although the Supreme Court has interpreted it as also applying to the Executive and Judicial branches.Even though the first amendent gives you the right to free speech, there are laws which limit how you exercise your right.

On the others, you'll have to do a little digging in the county records, then start calling or mailing.Some folks seem to have luck with HUDs or REOs, but there are complications with wholesaling those.They call them bandit signs for a reason.

The question is: what complications can arise by the fact that I am a Canadian purchasing US real estate?

Also includes a pandering, and weak Federal Legislature and Judicial Branch whose inaction in checking and balancing the Executive Branch serves to enable horrible policy choices for the country and economy.4 Fluffs = Main stream media outlets devoted to the State and focused on many different distractions to sidetrack the general population from the actual issues, such as "Where's all the money coming from?"

I don't know why I thought it would be a complicated process

It seems like an assignment is more complicated than a double closing, but a double closing cost more (closing costs), which do you prefer, and with a double closing who do you close with first, the seller or the end buyer.

Investors can be way more complicated, more costly, and take more time to procure than traditional bank financing.
